CLIO, Mich. (WJRT) – New surveillance video has been released of the Monday night burglary of a Clio jewelry store.

“It was a shock and we are just frustrated,” said owner Cynthia Swick.
Surveillance video shows someone breaking through the door near 10 pm, before shattering the case and taking what was inside. Once the alarm inside starts going off, the suspect makes them escape within a minute of entering.
“There were about 108 charms,” said Swick. “They range from a hundred to a few hundred dollars so probably about $10,000 worth of stuff.”
Clio Police are now working to identify the thief. Because it happened so early in the night, Police Chief Wendell Millstead was the first to arrive on the scene.
“As a matter of fact, my second-in-command and were the two first responding officers because we were still here after a meeting,” said
