(Harris County, Texas) – The owner of a jewelry store in Harris Co. Texas is being lauded for his bravery during a recent armed robbery attempt at his store.
The 66-yr-old owner of Your Jeweler’s, located in the 12100 block of Jones Rd, said that three armed suspects burst into his store demanding money and jewelry and began to savagely beat him during the altercation.
