Reading Time: 4 minutes An attempted jewelry store robbery in Hartford, Connecticut, ended with a 23-year-old man in handcuffs on Friday afternoon, November 6, and nothing missing from the cases. NBC Connecticut reported that police were called to Fine Gold Jewelry Store on William Shorty Campbell Street at about 2:20 p.m. for an armed robbery in progress. By the time officers walked in, the people working there were already locked in a struggle with the armed suspect.

Customers and employees who were exposed to the spray were treated on site for minor injuries. Nothing was reported stolen. NBC did not name the suspect or list the charges.
