Armed robbers steal jewellery and cash in Sydney car park A jewellery heist prompted a man-hunt in Sydney on Sunday night after two armed bandits escaped after a robbery. The men escaped with jewellery and cash after holding up two wholesale jewellers in the car park of a shopping centre on Rider Boulevarde in Rhodes, police said. A spokesman declined to say how much the jewellery was worth but said it was "very valuable." The robbery sparked a large police investigation involving police from the Burwood command, crime scene examiners, the dog squad, the highway patrol and PolAir, said Burwood Local Area Command duty officer Greg Thomas. ""It was pretty much everyone except the water police,"" he said. He said the majority of the property stolen was jewellery, with ""an amount of cash"" taken as well. The two male jewellers, aged 34 and 38, were returning to their car after visiting a jewellery store inside the shopping centre. "The offenders, both with their faces concealed and armed with a firearm and a large knife, threatened the pair before stealing a large sum of cash and valuable jewellery," police said in a statement. Detectives from Burwood Local Area Command established a crime scene, which was examined by specialist forensic officers. The men are believed to have fled in a green Honda Accord. Police are appealing for anyone with more information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
