Cancun, Q.R.  Police in Cancun are on the search for a group of men after a broad daylight jewelry heist Sunday. At least four were captured on surveillance cameras inside the Gran Plaza mall in Cancun Sunday afternoon.
It was around 4:00 p.m. when the store’s security video captured at least one of them on camera. The group entered the store posing as customers. Once the store emptied of other people, they approached the staff and uttered threats.
Once the four men took what they came for, three of them were captured on plaza surveillance cameras leaving the mall at a quick pace. Staff of the jewelry store made the report to 9-1-1 who sent police.
Municipal officers arrived to two visibly shaken staff members and numerous empty jewelry boxes that were left behind by the thieves. A woman was taken to hospital for stress after the robbery. It is not clear if she was an employee or witness.
Cancun police have not issued a statement on the Sunday afternoon heist.
