2022 robbery
This was the second break-in at Silveri Jewellers.
Early on the morning of Dec. 23, 2022, a pickup truck reversed through the front of the store. Three males then got out the Dodge Ram and grabbed thousands of dollars worth of jewelry.
Owner Todd Koebel and his wife watched it all unfold on security video and contacted police.
Officers arrived minutes later but, by then, the thieves were already long gone.
