A group of thieves stole millions of dollars in a family jewelry in a daring daring flight in Seattle that only took 90 seconds, police announced.
The Seattle Police Department said that he had responded to information reporting to Menashe and Sons jeweler in West Seattle around noon on August 14.
Four masked suspects would have used hammers to break a locked locked door, then destroyed six windows, police said. The incident was captured in surveillance cameras inside the store, CBS Kiro’s affiliate reported.
Police said the suspects were armed with a taser and a spray bear. The weapons were pointed out on store employees during the flight. No injury has been reported.
Bret Gibson, an employee of a gym on the other side of the store, told Kiro that the flight could be heard inside his workplace.
“You could still hear like a lot of windows and shots and stuff, so they were there around noon that still fly the store while everyone was on the phone to call the cops,” Gibson told Kiro.
After the fast flight, the suspects fled in a flight car, police said. A search for the area has given no results. Anyone with information on theft is requested to contact the Seattle police service in their tip on violent crimes.
Josh Menashe, the store vice-president, told the Associated Press that the store “will be closed for a while”.
“We are quite shaken as staff,” he said.
Menashe told the Associated Press that the workers had cleaned the broken glass of the incident and worked on a complete inventory of stolen products. A glass case owned between $ 700,000 and $ 800,000 in Rolex luxury watches, while another held an emerald necklace worth $ 125,000, the Seattle police said. The case with the necklace also contained a platinum diamond. Two other windows “contained a large amount of gold jewelry.”
