Police are investigating after some burglars busted through the front of an Aventura jewelry store Thursday morning.

The incident happened around 6:15 a.m. at the Jewelry Exchange at 19275 Biscayne Boulevard.

The head of security at the store said three suspects backed a stolen flatbed tow truck into the store and tried to drag out a safe but tripped the alarm.

Aventura Police officials said officers quickly responded to the business and helped thwart the would-be thieves.

"The suspects made off with absolutely nothing, zero," said Tony Austin, the head of security.

No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made, police said.

Footage showed the front of the store heavily damaged. Crews were busy putting up temporary plywood to replace the broken windows and doors.

Police said they're actively investigating the incident.
