The Platinum Jewelers on Jordan road was hit just before 1 a.m. Wednesday.
When officers arrived, they found the back door of Pawfect Puppy standing open.
The adjoining wall between it and the jewelry store was severely damaged. The suspect had apparently tried to get into the store but failed and left empty-handed.
The suspect also cut phone lines and fiber optic cables in a utility box, at the intersection of Jordan and Mallory, before his attempt to disable the alarm.
