A security guard posted inside a high-end jewelry store in Chicago foiled a broad daylight smash-and-grab on Tuesday, authorities said.
The attempted heist happened just before 12:30 p.m. at the Marshall Pierce & Company jewelry store in the 900 block of North Michigan Avenue in the city’s Magnificent Mile neighborhood, Chicago police said.
Three male suspects entered the store and walked up to a watch case when one suspect took out a hammer from his jacket, according to police.
Before the suspect could smash any glass cases, police said a security guard intervened and ordered the suspects to the ground. The three suspects refused to listen to the guard, who was reportedly armed, and fled the store empty-handed.
The trio jumped into a waiting getaway car, which police believed may be a white Infiniti sedan.
The suspects were wearing ski masks and described as slim Black males between the ages of 18 and 28, CWB Chicago reported, citing police.

Alternatively, a simple but unwoke solution.
The skinnies have migrated from Minneapolis to Chicago, eh?
AOC is disappoint.
“Three male suspects entered the store and walked up to a watch case when one suspect took out a hammer from his jacket”
And at that point a 12 guage shotgun with a less than lethal load would absolutely discourage any further loitering and troublemaking.
I wouldn’t be shocked if the DA had the security guard indicted. Possibly with a hate crime addendum.
They actually reported the race of the alleged perps!
Idiot - because of the law Governor Putzker signed - the gang bangers will get a copy of the arrest report with your name and contact information. Be ready for intimidation by the criminals.
Has the security guard been arrested yet?
Interfering with reparations distribution or something like that
I would bet they were wise to the game and made sure the security guard ws black as well.
Amazingly, after giving the color of the getaway car, the article actually gave the color of the perps.
Excellent point.
Guards, witnesses, jurors always in deep trouble.
Why “less than lethal?” A hammer is a deadly weapon.
