Fairfax County Police investigating a robbery at Elite Jewelers in Tysons Corner Center

Officers and detectives are currently on scene conducting an investigation.

Officers are on scene of Elite Jewelers in Tysons Corner Center for a robbery.

Suspect smashed jewelry cases with a hammer.

NO shots were fired. Male suspect, white hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans.

The store owners have obviously been trained, they all immediately dropped their steel gates and closed their doors and lock things up. The employees in the stores directed all customers in the store to exit through the back of the store.

However, the mass hysteria of people stampeding to get out is a very dangerous situation.

There was a smashing grab at a jewelry store the way they were acting. You’d think that there was a gunman running around the mall, but there wasn’t. He used a claw hammer, smashed the display case and in the process of running away he lost one of his tennis shoes.

There was no gun. There was no gunshot, just the hammer to break the jewelry display case, but the way people are running out of the mall you would think there was an active shooter but there was not.

Anyone with information is asked to call the non-emergency line at 703-691-2131.

This is a developing story that will be updated when more information is available.
