GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Grand Island police are investigating the theft of about $250,000 in jewelry and other items after burglars cut through a wall next to the store.

Police say the burglars entered the Oro-Mex Jewelers sometime late Friday or early Saturday.

They went through a cement wall that connected a church and the store, then cut open two safes.

Police say about $50,000 in damage was done to the building.

Police Capt. Jim Duering said investigators have some leads in what he called the “well-orchestrated” burglary.
