VIRGINIA Seaside, Va. (WAVY) — Greenbrier wasn’t the only Hampton Roadways mall strike by jewelry robbers on Wednesday.
Virginia Beach police say a jewelry retail outlet inside of Lynnhaven Mall was targeted in a “smash and grab” larceny. Chesapeake police labeled their circumstance a “robbery,” but Virginia Seaside law enforcement later clarified they’re remaining labeled larcenies for the reason that staff weren’t threatened.
A spokesperson for VBPD did not share the title of the shop in a press release, but it occurred at REEDS Jewelers at 1:17 p.m., inside of several hours of the other theft.
