Authorities in Tammany Parish, Louisiana are searching for two men who stole more than $1 million in jewelry and other merchandise last Saturday night from a J.C. Penney store.

Last weekend’s robbery was the second in the state and the fourth in a series of five large burglaries at the department store around the country that authorities believed was committed by the same group, a spokesperson for the company said.

According to reports, the first robbery was committed in Indiana in June, and then the robbers moved onto Texas in July.

Store surveillance cameras show the thieves entering the building through the rooftops and lowering themselves into the stores by ropes, a scene authorities said reminiscent of a Hollywood movie.

Authorities said the only description of the thieves are, they are both black men, one was wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans and black and white Nike tennis shoes and the other was dark t-shirt with green writing, blue jeans and construction style work boots.
