The wheel man backed the Hyundai Elantra into the driveway while his two accomplices removed a safe and jewelry.
According to investigators, the three men—two clad in construction gear—entered a home located in the vicinity of 160th Street and 84th Drive on Oct. 16 by forcibly opening the rear door. Once inside the home, the burglars removed a safe and the jewelry. They then fled in a blue Hyundai Elantra that had been backed into the property’s driveway by the third suspect.
According to PIX 11, the owner of the home also owns a jewelry store. Additionally, the October incident is not the first time thieves have targeted the man. In December 2024, suspects used a sledgehammer to break in to his establishment and snatch $800,000 in jewels.
