They gained access to the jewelry store by opening the back door of a vacant business next door and, and from that business, made a hole in the connecting wall. A safe was removed from the store estimated at about six-feet tall and weighing about 2,700 pounds. Shortly after 3:45 a.m., the safe was taken away in a truck.
