Two armed men entered Cartersville Jewelry Exchange, located at 1552 Riverstone Parkway Suite 170 just before 11:30 a.m. Friday and "demanded employees get to the ground," according to a press release from the department.
Police say the suspects then cracked open some of the glass displays, took jewelry from the store and fled the scene driving a dark green Ford F-150 as the getaway vehicle.

A witness followed the suspects near the Hidden Creek subdivision where police recovered the vehicle, which they suspect was carjacked from Atlanta. The men, however, fled on foot.
Police set up a perimeter around the subdivision as "precautionary measure," but a witness later told authorities the suspects tossed the items alongside the road before they got into a waiting car on the interstate, and drove southbound.
