Burglary at Naperville jewelry store prompts owner to urge caution
The owner of Naperville’s “Choudhary Jewels” is urging those in the community to be cautious and aware of their surroundings in light of a recent burglary to her shop.
Madhu Choudhary said in a social media post that the business at 1355 S. Route 59 was broken into on Sept. 18. She told the Chicago Tribune that an undisclosed number of items were taken. Police were notified the following morning. In this instance, though the store has a Naperville address, the incident is being handled by the Aurora police due to the store technically falling within that city’s boundaries.
The business has plans to upgrade its security.
