Police in Schaumburg are searching for several suspects involved in breaking into a Woodfield Mall jewelry store last week and stealing $1 million worth of merchandise.
At least six burglars entered Marquise Jewelers by cutting a hole in the drywall from a vacant store next door sometime late Aug. 1, Schaumburg police said.
The burglary was reported about 9:30 a.m. the next day when a construction worker at the vacant store noticed the hole in the wall, police said.
It was later discovered that more than $1 million in jewelry was taken from the store, police said.
One of the surveillance cameras also was covered, police said.
Detectives are investigating.
