On the second-to-last shopping weekend before Christmas, smash-and-grab burglars made off with eight Rolex watches from the Zales jewelry store at Philadelphia Mills mall in Northeast Philadelphia, police said.
The burglary occurred just before 1 p.m., when two men entered the store in the mall formerly known as Franklin Mills and broke into display cases with a sledgehammer, police said.
The one wielding the sledgehammer was wearing a face mask and a dark-colored jacket; his alleged accomplice was in a gray hoodie, according to police.
They fled in a newer model black Hyundai with heavily tinted windows, police said.
No arrests had been made as of early Saturday evening and no injuries were reported.
