NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) – Two people were arrested last week in connection with the armed robbery of Dubai Jewelry on Nolensville Pike.

According to the jewelry store owner, the robbers almost stole $2 million in gold. The owner explained that two robbers entered the store, one carrying a bouquet of flowers and pretending to be browsing. A third suspect then followed and used a screwdriver to secure the door, preventing it from being locked.
