A group of thieves stole millions of dollars of merchandise from a family-owned jewelry store in a bold daylight robbery in Seattle that took only 90 seconds, police said.
The Seattle Police Department said it responded to reports of a robbery at Menashe and Sons Jeweler in West Seattle around noon on August 14.
Four masked suspects allegedly used hammers to smash a locked front glass door, then destroyed six display cases, police said. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras inside the store, CBS affiliate KIRO reported.
Police said the suspects were armed with a Taser and bear spray. The weapons were pointed at store employees while the robbery occurred. No injuries were reported.
Bret Gibson, an employee at a gym across the street from the shop, told KIRO that the robbery could be heard inside his workplace.
