Robbing the Jewelry Store in Jailbreak is one of the most exciting heists you can pull off. It’s packed with lasers, multiple floors, and some tricky obstacles that make it a real challenge. But once you get the hang of it, it’s a great way to score diamonds and cash fast.
Here’s a quick answer on how to rob the Jewelry Store:
- Make sure no cops are inside the store before you start.
- Stand on the "X" mark outside to begin cutting the window (this takes a few seconds and can be interrupted by cops).
- Enter through the broken window once the cut is complete.
- Carefully navigate the static laser grids on each floor.
- Grab the diamonds and cash on the second and third floors.
- Use the slide on the top floor to speed up your escape.
- Exit through one of the two doors to avoid cops waiting outside.
Let’s break down everything you need to know so you can nail this heist every time.
Getting Started: When and How to Enter
The Jewelry Store only opens for robbery when no police officers are inside. You’ll know it’s ready when you see the "X" mark near the windows outside. Stand on that mark to start cutting the window open. This process takes a few seconds, and cops are alerted immediately as soon as window cutting begins, so watch out for them and be prepared to stop if needed.
Once the window is fully cut, you can enter through it. Climbing up to enter is not a standard method anymore, so entry is only possible through the broken window.
Navigating the Store: Lasers and Floors
Inside, you’ll face lasers covering the floors. In the current version, these lasers are static, making timing your steps easier. Touching a laser drains your health gradually but won’t knock you out instantly. Still, avoid them to prevent death and losing your loot.
The store has multiple floors:
- First floor: Contains the window entry and some loot boxes but is less lucrative.
- Second floor: Look for diamonds and cash.
- Third floor (roof): More loot and the slide to help you escape faster.
Note: The Jewelry Store no longer has a basement accessible during the robbery, so any previous mention of a basement floor is outdated.
In addition to lasers, security cameras are present throughout the store. Triggering these cameras can alert cops, adding an extra layer of challenge.
How to Escape Without Getting Caught
After collecting the loot, head to the slide on the top floor. Using it speeds up your escape and gets you down quickly.
There are two exit doors on different sides of the building. Cops often camp at one exit, so switching to the other door can save you from getting caught. Jumping out windows to escape isn’t possible anymore, so plan your route carefully.
Additionally, there is a zipline located on the roof that leads to nearby buildings. This zipline is a newer addition and can be used to escape quickly, but it’s not always guaranteed safe since cops may anticipate this route. Use it strategically to avoid campers but stay alert.
Rewards and Tips to Maximize Your Take
The amount of diamonds and cash you get is generally fixed per robbery but can vary slightly with updates and player count. This makes the Jewelry Store one of the more lucrative heists in Jailbreak. The heat system (your wanted level) affects police response—the faster you finish and escape, the less likely you are to be caught.
Some extra tips:
- If you see cops outside, wait or try another heist first.
- Punching boxes from outside was a known exploit but has been patched in recent updates.
- Other exploits like no-clip or jetpack usage inside the store are restricted by current anti-cheat measures.
- Always gear up with weapons and vehicles before the robbery to improve your chances of a successful escape.
- Remember cops get alerted as soon as window cutting starts, so be ready for a quick getaway.
When Can You Rob It Again?
After a robbery, the Jewelry Store takes about 7 in-game hours (roughly 30 real minutes) to reopen. This cooldown time is approximate and can change with updates.
A Bit of History and Recent Changes
The Jewelry Store is the first robbery location introduced in Jailbreak and has been revamped multiple times to improve gameplay and balance.
As of November 2025, the Robbery Groups system was removed and replaced with the Dynamic Robbery System. This new system changes how multiple players can participate in heists, making teamwork more flexible and dynamic.
Robbing the Jewelry Store is a thrilling part of Jailbreak that rewards patience and practice. Once you master the laser timing and know your escape routes—including the zipline and multiple exits—it becomes a reliable way to boost your cash and diamonds. Just remember to watch for cops and use both exits smartly to stay one step ahead.
