EAST POINT, Ga. (AP) - East Point police are looking for whomever who broke into a Kay Jewelers store and made off with at $1 million worth of jewelry.

East Point Police spokesman Cliff Chandler said investigators had few details Friday afternoon.

Police said someone forcibly entered the jewelry store after it was closed. Officials are unsure if there were more than one suspects.

An undetermined amount of jewelry was stolen, but Chandler said it was at least $1 million.

Chandler said this is the first such break-in East Point police have handled recently, but other law enforcement agencies will be contacted to see if similar break-ins have happened nearby.
