BELLE GLADE, Fla. - Though the armed robbers who hit a Belle Glade jewelry store earlier this week have not yet been caught, their crime was captured on video. Now Palm Beach County Sheriff's investigators are asking if anyone can help identify them.

The Sheriff's office released video today of three men who entered Osvilda Jewelry on Tuesday at 11:25 a.m., smashed jewelry cases to grab the goods and took off in a stolen red Dodge Caravan.

The men were armed with an AR-15 rifle and handguns, sheriff's officials report.

After grabbing the jewelry they fled in the van that was later found abandoned. No one was injured in the robbery.

Anyone who can identify the men in the video are asked to call Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS (8477).
