BEAVERTON, Ore. -- A jewelry store owner returned home from work only to be forced by armed robbers to drive back to his Beaverton store Wednesday night, deputies said.The robbers stole everything they could get their hands on at Ari Diamonds at Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and Scholls Ferry Road, said Sgt. David Thompson of the Washington County Sheriff's Office. They then drove away in the victim's car and left him behind, Thompson said.The value of the stolen jewelry is not known.In addition to finding multiple people armed with weapons inside his house, Scott Nimori, the jewelry store owner, discovered his father and his teenage son bound by the robbers, Thompson said.There were no injuries in the robbery.Thompson said Nimori's car was found at the corner of Southwest 70th Avenue and Southwest Raleighwood Lane.The sheriff's spokesman said Ari Diamonds has been burglarized at least three times since 2001 and Nimori was shot in the leg during one of the robberies.Less than a year ago, two suspected thieves were arrested after an early morning burglary at the store. One of them was found hiding in a portable toilet.Washington County deputies are still investigating. They have not developed a description of the robbers.Anyone with information is asked to call the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
