Two Newark men were being held in lieu of $50,000 bail each at Bergen County Jail on Tuesday in connection with the armed robbery of a Rutherford jewelry store in February, police said.

Alan Adams and Marvin Lowery are the second and third suspects arrested in the Feb. 7 robbery of Corbo Jewelers at 58 Park Ave., Police Lt. Steven Nienstedt said. A third suspect, Caasi Selby, was arrested a month ago and remained in the Bergen County Jail on Tuesday in lieu of $15,000 bail.

The three were among a group of seven who entered the jewelry store, ordered employees to the floor, smashed showcases with hammers, a sawed-off shotgun, and automatic handguns, and made off with $18,000 worth of jewelry, including rings, bracelets, and Rolex and Movado watches, Nienstedt said.

Nienstedt said his department is holding two more arrest warrants in the case.

In a series of raids that began about 11 p.m. Friday in Newark, Rutherford police worked with the Newark Police Department to execute search warrants at five residences.

Adams, 20, was arrested at his Schley Street apartment. He was charged with illegal possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, armed robbery, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Lowery, 28, of 226 Richelieu Terrace was arrested Sunday about 2:30 a.m. at the Harmon Cove Towers in Secaucus on armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery charges, Nienstedt said.

The investigation was continuing, he added.
