A group of at least six people cut through the wall of a jewelry store in a burglary in Schaumburg, IL.

They got into Marquise Jewelers on Aug. 1 by cutting through from a vacant store next door, NBC Chicago reported.

They took about $1 million in jewelry, according to NBC Chicago.

ABC Chicago put the amount at $1.5 million and reported that the burglars tunneled through multiple stores. Marquise Jewelers is located in Woodfield Mall.
