A group of thieves stole millions of dollars from a family -owned jewelry store in a bold daylight robbery in Seattle, which took only 90 seconds, police said.
Seattle Police Department said It responded to the reports of a robbery at Mainashe & Sons Jeweler in West Seattle around the afternoon on 14 August.
Police said four masked suspects allegedly used hammers to break a closed glass door, then destroyed six display cases. This incident was caught on surveillance cameras inside the store, CBS affiliated kiro Informed
Police said the suspects were equipped with a tusser and bear spray. The weapons were indicated on the staff of the store while the robbery was done. There was no injury.
Brett Gibson, an employee in a gym across the road from the shop, told Kiro that the robbery could be heard inside his workplace.
“You can still hear a lot of braking glass and are exploding around, so they were still robbing the store around noon, while everyone was calling the police on the phone,” Gibson told Kiro.
Police said that after a rapid fire robbery, the suspects fled into a migration car. No results were found from the search of the area. Anyone who knows about the robbery is asked to contact the Seattle Police Department on the violent crime tip line.
Josh Mense, Vice President of Store, Told Associated Press That store “will be closed for a while.”
“We are shaking a lot as an employee,” he said.
Mainashe told Associated Press that the workers cleaned the broken glass from the incident and were working on a complete list of stolen goods. Seattle police said a glass case was held between $ 700,000 and $ 800,000 in Rolex luxury watches, while the other held a page necklace, priced at $ 125,000. There was also a platinum diamond in terms of defeat. In two other performance cases “there were large amounts of gold ornaments.”
