Montgomery County detectives are investigating the robbery of a jewelry store that occurred on April 30 in Chevy Chase.

Police said at approximately 11:08 a.m., 2nd District officers responded to the Cartier jewelry store located at 5471 Wisconsin Avenue for the report of a robbery that had just occurred. According to investigators, multiple suspects wearing gloves and masks entered and took control of the store for less than one minute.
