Jewelry Store Robbed in Woodbridge | Newark News

A jewelry store in Woodbridge, 9Lakha Jewelers, was shattered in a lightning-fast smash-and-grab robbery Saturday night, with thieves stealing nearly $1 million in gems and jewelry. Dressed in black and arriving in a silver car, the crew used sledgehammers to break into the shop and emptied cases into plastic bags—all in under a minute. Owners Sonu and Sushmita Chauhan narrowly escaped unharmed while inside, but the emotional and financial toll is crushing, especially after years of hard work. It’s not an isolated incident—several other Indian jewelry stores on the same block have been targeted recently, sparking fears about community safety and potential government or insurance intervention. Police are investigating possible links between the heists and pushing for answers before more businesses fall victim.
