LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — After being robbed in November, the owner of "My Jewelry" in Henderson was forced to defend his store once again from an attempted robbery.
Tyler was inside the store on Friday when two individuals threw a rock at the business in an attempt to break in.
"I hear this noise — this loud noise. I turn around, and they're kicking the front of the bottom glass door," Tyler said. "I grab my shotgun right next to me, and I put it right through the door. And I say, 'Come on, come on,' and they ran like little girls."
Tyler was understandably vigilant after his store was robbed in late 2022, when two individuals broke in with a trash can and stole thousands of dollars worth of items. Tyler returned the following November morning to find his store nearly destroyed.
“They took all of our watches and our silver stuff, and my cash drawer that only had change in it," Tyler told KTNV.
Despite the efforts of the Henderson Police Department, no suspects have been arrested in either crime.

Though Tyler was ready this time but maintains his original message — that other small business owners should be vigilant and always protect themselves and their businesses.
"I hope this serves as a warning to other criminals that we will not be easy targets," he said.
On Tuesday, Jan. 17, Henderson police confirmed that there were no injuries reported in the incident, but no arrests have been made and the suspects remain at-large.
The Henderson Police Department is currently investigating the incident and is asking anyone with information to come forward. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Henderson Police Department at (702) 267-4911.
