JENSEN BEACH, FL-- The Martin County Sheriff's Office says its deputies have arrested four suspected rooftop burglars.

When responding deputies answered an alarm early Tuesday morning at Anthony's Fine Jewelry in Jensen Beach, they discovered holes cut into the store. Deputies traced the entry to the rooftop of the adjoining business, Two Brothers Auto Sales.

During a search, deputies found and arrested 4 men.

Deputies said one of the suspects said the group left the Miami area Monday night in two vehicles with the intent to rob the jewelry store. 
 
The sheriff's office says deputies found  gloves, dark clothing, gas cylinders, an electric grinder, jackhammer, compressor, flashlights, walkie-talkie radios and cutting torches.

They charged Pedro Nunez, 43, Antonio Garcia, 53, Juan Reyes-Hernandez, 23, and Florencio Hernandez, 43, with burglary, criminal mischief, attempted grand theft, loitering and prowling, and possession of burglary tools. 

They are being held without bond at the Martin County Jail.
