Gone in 60 seconds: Burglars steal $200,000 in jewelry from Howell, NJ home

HOWELL —The owners of a house where burglars stole an estimated $200,000 worth of jewelry in less than a minute on Monday afternoon have posted a $5,000 reward for information leading to their arrest.

Security camera footage captured images of the two masked burglars in the woods watching a house on West Farms Road until its owners left.

The masked pair then broke a locked door at 1:20 p.m., entered the house and took the jewelry.

The time stamp on the footage shows the two leaving the home and going back into the woods less than a minute before they entered.
