On Saturday, February 15, at about 11 p.m., officers were dispatched to a burglary at the Status Jewels kiosk at 5900 Sugarloaf Mills Road in unincorporated Lawrenceville. During the crime, two black male suspects wearing hoodies used a hammer to break the display cases and stole over $1,500 worth of jewelry. 

According to the Gwinnett County Police Department, the thieves are described as follows:
