The suspects fled after the store owner confronted them with a handgun, according to police.

Gwinnett Police are seeking two men in connection with a robbery at a jewelry store in unincorporated Duluth earlier in January.

According to a news release, two unidentified black men entered the Armen & Joseph Jewelry Store at 6525 Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth on Jan. 9.

When they entered the store, the suspects produced a claw hammer, and began smashing one of the glass showcases in an effort to steal jewelry. The store owner produced a handgun, confronted the suspects, and ordered them to leave, according to police.

The suspects complied, and were last seen running out of the store toward a nearby Kroger.
