WatchBrokers was the kind of place that had a $70,000 Christian Dior time piece in its cabinet. I-Team cameras captured rat traps, and expensive watches were not secured. The key to the security gates were out in the open, and the safes were unlocked.
Court-appointed receiver Chris Tierney says they also seized two bank accounts which they found to be empty.
"I think we'll be here for a while. The good part is, I think people can rest assured that if they had something here, it's now safe and protected and hopefully we will be contacting them over the next couple of weeks," said Tierney.
He says they found hundreds of watches inside the business, and a $2 million insurance policy has been issued on the watches.
