Man Allegedly Robs Marblehead Jewelry Store In Broad Daylight

MARBLEHEAD (CBS) -- A Peabody man is under arrest for allegedly robbing a jewelry store in broad daylight.

Police responded to the Gold Bug Jewelry Store in Marblehead around 10:30a.m. on Thursday after the store's security alarm went off. The store owner told police the man jumped behind the counter and took some items from the case as well as the owner's purse.
