Police Issue Reward in Saks Robbery Case

Police officials are offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads them to the men who robbed the Saks Fifth Avenue jewelry section a week ago.

The Essex County Sheriff's Office authorized the reward through the sheriff's Crimestoppers program. People with information should contact the Millburn Police Detective Bureau at 973-564-7017.

Two men wearing ski masks came into the jewelry section at the Mall at Short Hills department store with sledgehammers and smashed two glass counters on Sept. 26, according to police. The suspects took watches with a combined value in excess of $100,000, according to police. Police reported they told people in the area they had guns and to look away. They fled the scene in a waiting black car in the parking lot, according to police.
