HENDERSON (KTNV) — George Tyler, owner of My Jewelers in Henderson, is warning others to be vigilant after his store was burglarized last week.
At approximately 11 p.m. Thursday, at least two people broke into Tyler's business, brought in a garbage can, and ransacked the place, Tyler told KTNV.
“They took all of our watches and our silver stuff, and my cash drawer that only had change in it," Tyler said.
He says he was shocked to come in Friday morning and find his business nearly destroyed.
Debbie Aguayo owns Liberty Tax, near My Jewelers. She said the burglary doesn't surprise her, as this type of crime has happened in the area before.
“Most [local businesses] do close early for that reason," Aguayo said. "The latest I'm ever open is 7 or 8 at night.”
Tyler says while he's now in recovery mode, he's sending a warning to other businesses to stay vigilant — especially through the holiday season.
“You don’t know. You think [customers] are coming in, but you don’t know if you're being cased, or if they're checking you out," Tyler said. “Be on your guard. Be alert.”
Tyler says Henderson Police detectives are working to catch the thieves.
