Starbucks jewel heist

PARKER, Colo. (AP) - February 16, 2009

Police say the man stopped for coffee Monday at a Starbucks in Parker, Colo., south of Denver. He was just returning to his car when he was held up. Three masked robbers took three "tubs" of jewelry and a briefcase containing the salesman's handgun.

Police didn't identify the 64-year-old salesman. Parker police spokeswoman Elise Penington says he was in town for a trade show.

One of the robbers allegedly brandished a gun, but no one was injured in the robbery.
