Footage shows the heist beginning in standard Hollywood fashion, with one man seeming to ask the clerk if he can see one of the pieces in the case; he can then be seen pulling a hammer out from under his coat, which he uses to smash the display glass.
According to ABC, police describe the first suspect as wearing a black jacket with a red and black Chicago Bulls baseball cap and faded blue jeans; investigators believe he is in his early 30s, about 200 pounds, standing around 5-foot-10.
The second man reportedly wore a white floppy bucket hat, black jacket and faded blue jeans; he weighs around 220 pounds and estimated to stand about 6-feet tall.
Police say the two are also suspected and wanted for breaking into another jewelry store in the Houston area, Deutsch & Deutsch Jewelers, in December.
The Sugar Land Police Department is asking anyone with information reach out to (281) 275-2540 or the Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at (281) 342-TIPS
