4 suspects in custody after jewelry store robbery in North Andover, more suspects on the run
Four suspects are in police custody and two remain at large after authorities said they robbed a jewelry store in North Andover, Massachusetts on Thursday morning.
According to police, the robbery happened at around 10:30 a.m. inside Milos Joyeria, a jewelry store at the Chickering Plaza.
Witnesses saw armed men
WBZ-TV spoke to business owners in the area who described seeing multiple men enter the jewelry store with large guns, rob the store, and then escape. Heather Thifault owns a business just two door away from where it all happened. She didn't actually witness the crime, but described the aftermath as "terrifying."
"We had no idea what was going on. I want to say there was at least two unmarked SUVs, there was North Andover Police and then there were a bunch of what looked like personal vehicles," said Thifault.
North Andover Police Chief Charles Gray said officers responded to the scene immediately and when one of them spotted the suspects in a getaway car, "The officer did and the vehicle refused to stop and went behind a building on 125 where three occupants exited the vehicle and got into another vehicle."
Suspects caught after chase
A statement released by North Andover Police Thursday afternoon said the suspects led them on a pursuit along Route 125 and onto Sutton Street, where it merged onto Route 495. The vehicle exited on Marston Street, where it crashed. Police said the suspects then fled into the woods.
With assistance from the Lawrence Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, Methuen Police Department, and the FBI, the North Andover Police were able to take four suspects into custody. They said two remain at large.
This is an ongoing investigation at this time.

Fetterman cheers ICE arrests of illegal alien child sex offenders, Luna calls for death penalty
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., expressed support for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's apprehension of illegal alien child sex offenders, while Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., advocated for the individuals to face the death penalty. ICE noted in a Monday press release that it "arrested 214 illegal aliens for immigration offenses in the Houston area in the past six months who have been charged or convicted of a sex offense involving a minor." "I don't support or agree with all of ICE's tactics or actions. I do fully support moves like these. This makes our nation more secure and all our children safer," Fetterman said in a post on X. Responding to the news about the ICE arrests, Luna said in a post on X, "Skip deportation. Go directly to the death penalty. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200." According to the ICE press release, one of the individuals arrested was "Jose Guadalupe Meza, a 40-year-old, four-time deported criminal alien from Mexico who was arrested June 24 and has been convicted of theft and sexual assault of a child. ICE removed Guadalupe Meza to Mexico June 25." The news comes amid the Trump administration's crackdown on border and immigration enforcement. Fetterman has previously expressed support for ICE's work, describing any calls for the abolition of the agency as "inappropriate" as well as "outrageous." "Bringing together the resources and expertise of the entire federal law enforcement community to confront the overwhelming surge of illegal immigration that we saw over the past four years has resulted in the arrest and removal of historic numbers of violent criminal aliens, transnational gang members and child sex offenders," ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting field office director Paul McBride noted, according to the press release.
