The police report the arrest at 8 p.m. By then, the suspects had been at large for approximately four hours.
They are both charged with the theft from Mestergull in Tønsberg and have been taken to custody.
Jewelery of great value was stolen. The jewelery was kept inside a display case, but the thieves still managed to steal it.
– We have gone through the video footage and have pretty good pictures of the suspects, operations manager Jan Tore Gregersen told NRK this afternoon.
According to the police, the men should not have behaved threateningly towards the employees.
– We currently do not have an overview of how large the values are, said Gregersen.
