Two burglars pried open jewelry cases at Saks Fifth Avenue early Monday and made off with an unknown amount of jewelry, police said.
The burglars, wearing ski masks and hooded sweaters, forced open a door leading to an electrical room and were captured on surveillance video entering the jewelry area of the South Coast Plaza store about 4 a.m. and leaving minutes later, Costa Mesa Police Sgt. Bob Phillips said.
He said police were waiting for Saks to provide an inventory of stolen items.
“It doesn’t happen at the plaza that often where we get a graveyard commercial burglary,” he said. “The detectives are taking this very seriously.”
