Police searching for suspects in Birkdale Village jewelry store theft investigation

The break-in happened around 3:25 a.m. at a jewelry store on Birkdale Commons Parkway. A van the suspects attempted to flee in was recovered from the scene.

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Police are looking to identify three people after a break-in at a jewelry store on early Thursday morning.

Officers responded to Fink's Jewelers in Huntersville around 3:25 a.m. on Thursday after a break-in was reported. A witness told police they saw a blue van parked outside of the store, broken glass, and several people inside.

The suspects left the store and attempted to drive away in the van, but it broke down so they ran from the area where police believe they were picked up by another car.

 The three suspects are described as:

  • Large framed man wearing a white button-down shirt, gray pants, a dark baseball hat, sunglasses, an N95-type mask, and gloves
  • Large framed man wearing a light-colored hoodie, black sweatpants, a head covering, sunglasses, gloves, and white sneakers
  • A person who stayed in the van with an unknown description

The van was towed away from the area. It's described as a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country with a dealer tag from Parker's Used Cars in Blenheim, South Carolina. 

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Huntersville police at (704) 464-5346.
