Two men smash jewelry cases with hammer in $2 million Sugar Land heist

SUGAR LAND, TX - Sugar Land police are searching for two men seen on surveillance video smashing display cases inside a jewelry store and running away with stolen jewelry valued at $2 million.

The men entered Hutton`s Jewelry & Gifts, 2735 Town Center Blvd., just after 12:20 p.m. on Jan. 10. One suspect reportedly approached an employee to ask about an engagement ring, and the second man joined them soon after.

The first suspect was wearing a black jacket, red/black ball cap and faded blue jeans. He was in his early 30s, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed about 200 pounds.

The second suspect was wearing what appeared to be a white floppy hat, a black jacket and faded blue jeans. He was in his early 30s, 6 feet tall, and weighed about 220 pounds.
