THE LILLY BARRACK JEWELRY STORE IN ALBUQUERQUE’S NOB HILL IS BASICALLY EMPTY NOW. THAT’S AFTER THIEVES BROKE INTO THE STORE LAST WEEKEND, BURROWING THROUGH SHEETROCK AND BREAKING A WINDOW TO GET INSIDE. ONCE INSIDE, THEY TOOK 30-THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF JEWELRY AND RIPPED OFF THE CASH REGISTER.
THE OWNERS OF LILLY BARRACK SAY CRIME HAS INCREASED IN THE NOB HILL AREA BUT POLICE PRESENCE IS DOWN. CO-OWNER JAIME LEEDS SAYS MAYOR KELLER NEEDS TO STOP SAYING CRIME IS DOWN AND ASSIGN MORE POLICE OFFICERS TO NOB HILL, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.
