A group of over 20 people ransacked a jewellery store in broad daylight in California, making off with approximately $1 million in merchandise in just over a minute. The violent mob-style robbery was captured on camera.
The brazen heist took place on Monday at Heller Jewelers in San Ramon, located about 34 miles east of San Francisco. Surveillance footage shows the group—dressed in black and wearing masks—storming the store, smashing display cases with crowbars and pickaxes, and grabbing whatever jewelry they could carry.
“When they went in, they basically took over the store. Basically, taking whatever jewelry was available," Lt. Mike Pistello from the San Ramon PD told ABC 7 News.
The video has gone viral on social media.
