Burglars Ram Car Into Dublin Jewelry Store In Attempted Burglary

DUBLIN, CA — Multiple suspects attempted to rob a Dublin jewelry store Friday afternoon, according to the Dublin Police Services. This marks the second reported armed robbery in the Tri-Valley this week.

At around 1:58 p.m., DPS responded to a report of a burglary at BJ Jewellers at 6616 Dublin Boulevard. According to a preliminary investigation, suspects used a white Lexus to back into and breach the store's security gates. After gaining entry, multiple suspects exited several vehicles and entered the business, police said.

The store owner, who was not present at the time, had proactively removed all merchandise from display cases after hearing about another jewelry store burglary in Fremont. As a result, the suspects left empty-handed.

The suspects fled the scene in additional vehicles. Police say the white Lexus was determined to be stolen, and abandoned at the location.

Police say the business was closed at the time of the incident, and there were no customers or employees inside.

Police continue to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to contact Dublin Police Services at 925-833-6670.

On Tuesday afternoon, two suspects committed an armed robbery of the Walmart Neighborhood Market on 9100 Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon. Two 18-year-old suspects were arrested in connection.
