ATLANTA — A popular jewelry store off Peachtree Road in Buckhead was burglarized overnight.
It happened at Aydin Jewelers just before midnight on Wednesday.
The owner, Fevzi Aydin said he rushed over to the jewelry store as soon as the alarm company called. Aydin said when he arrived he discovered that police were already on site. He said police told him to stay back, so they could check and make sure everything was okay.
Aydin said there was broken glass everywhere, but he was relieved to know that only showcases were busted out. Luckily, Aydin said he put's his jewelry away in a safe every night, so the burglars didn't run off with any jewelry. Aydin said they were able to grab some alcohol bottles, his laptop and a few other items.

"It's just a bunch of people that you know have nothing else better to do and they try to steal from other people," Aydin said.
Surveillance video revealed that the three burglars pulled up in a small black car and busted through the store's front door window with a brick. However, they are not releasing the surveillance video right now.
Popular Atlanta artists such as Gucci Mane and Offset have been featured on Aydin Jewelers Instagram page. The page has nearly 73,000 followers and features a slew of blinged out watches, necklaces, rings and charms.
Aydin said this has never happened before and he's looking to hire a security guard.
