Police believe the men are the same people who robbed Burt's Jewelers, at 1676 Miami Gardens Drive, two days later.

According to detectives, the men came into the store posing as customers. Police said two of the men pulled out guns, sprayed employees with pepper spray and tied them up.

Police said the owners opened the safe for the thieves and unlocked some of the cases that had jewelry inside.

The thieves left with $1,500 in cash and several pieces of jewelry valued at about $250,000.

Police said the men seen in both surveillance videos were dressed similarly. Two of the men are described as black and between the ages of 20 and 25, while one is estimated to be between 25 to 35 years old.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
