Police in Fairfax County are looking for two men who walked into a store in at Tysons Corner Galleria Mall and made off with thousands of dollars in diamond jewelry.

Police say the suspects entered the Movado store, displayed a crowbar, and pushed store employees out of the way. They then used the crowbar to smash open a class cabinet.

Authorities say the suspects grabbed a fist full of diamond jewelry, stuffed them in a bag, and fled through the mall.

The suspects were both described as black, around 5 feet 11 inches tall, and 230 pounds. They wore blue, hooded jackets and ball caps. One suspect wore tan boots and the other had a mustache.

One store employee did need medical assistance, but was not hospitalized.
