“Robbers hit jewelry store in Edwards”

Posted: 02 Feb 2011 06:47 PM PST

Eagle County authorities think the same four people who robbed jewelry stores in Vail last year are responsible for a similar heist at Portofino Jewelry in the Riverwalk shopping center in Edwards recently.

Investigators say two couples came in together and then separated. While one couple distracted the store employee, the other couple snatched $30,000 worth of jewelry from a display case.

One couple was described as in their mid-40s and the other in their mid-20s. The Sheriff's Department did not identify their race, but characterized all four as having dark complexions.

Anyone with information can call Eagle County Crime Stoppers at 970-328-7007, 1-800-972-8477, orsubmit a tip online at www.tipsubmit.com. There is a $1,000 reward.
