Two suspects broke three display cases and fled the scene in motorcycles, leaving two accomplices to wait nearby. The goldsmith shop owner is still tallying the exact amount of lost jewelry, but initial estimates are high. Police received public tips leading to the discovery of some stolen items. Both employees inside the shop were unharmed. Authorities urge caution for the public when assisting in criminal investigations. The case is under investigation for gang and armed robbery under specific penal code sections, with harsh potential punishments.",
