For store manager Jessie Amador at Angel’s Jewelry on Sable Boulevard, selling beautiful jewelry has been his passion for the last 22 years.
“We’re just a hardworking family, just trying to stay afloat,” said Jessie.
As he and his staff were preparing for the busiest time of the year, they learned the disturbing news.
“At about 4:48 this morning we got a phone call from the police department saying that we had a break-in,” said Amador. “We came over here and at that point we found our doors had been jammed open and it looks as if they used a pry bar.”
The store’s surveillance camera captured the thieves breaking into the store.
“We calculated about $30,000 in damages and that’s on the low end. That’s what we have been able to determine so far,” Amador said.
