Smash-And-Grab thieves in Seattle left with around $ 2 million in diamonds, luxury watches, gold and other items in a daring flight of Midi jewelry that took approximately 90 seconds, the police announced on Friday.
The video of the West Seattle store surveillance shows four hidden suspects breaking the front glass front with hammers, then ransacking six windows on Thursday.
An exhibition held about $ 750,000 in Rolex watches, police said in a statement, and another had an emerald necklace worth $ 125,000.
A masked suspect threatened workers with a spray bear and a paralyzing pistol, police said, but no one was injured.
“We are quite shaken as staff,” Josh Menashe, vice-president of the family store, said on Friday, by phone at the Associated Press. “We are going to be closed for a while.”
Menashe said the workers had finished cleaning the broken glass and worked on a complete losses inventory.
The police said they responded to the flight, but the suspects had already fled to a flight car and escaped a search of the region.
