“It’s very hard and it’s a very big punch to the gut,” said Roesler. “They were in here with their baby, with their little, tiny baby. Let me hold her. Let me play with her and that’s how they got me.”
Roesler said the couple walked from a laundry mat across the street and wanted to look inside her store.
She said they were there for around an hour before leaving.
“I noticed a very expensive jewelry missing and that’s when I realized stuff was missing,” said Roesler. “They got thousands of dollars because the jewelry that they stole was extremely expensive and they got a couple of hundred dollars from each almost every vendor booth that had something small, that they could put in their pockets.”
