ROBBERS
ENTER WHEN CUSTOMER BUZZED IN
Modesto, CA – July 13, 2007

jewelry store, four masked men with guns followed. They ordered everyone
to the floor, and threatened to kill them if they moved. The owner,

up. The robbers forced the owner to open the safe and took cash and
jewelry. The getaway car was described as a black Dodge Charger with
paper plates. More
