Four men were arrested after allegedly attempting a New Year’s Eve smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry store in Upland, California, a suburb of Los Angeles in San Bernardino County.
The thugs’ attempted crime was thwarted because the shop owner wielded his legal firearm, the Upland Police Department said on Instagram.
“On 12/30/21, at about 2:37 p.m., four suspects entered a jewelry store on the 300 block of S. Mountain Ave in an attempt smash-and-grab robbery,” police said.
The thugs sprayed bear spray on store employees during the brazen heist, but no one was seriously injured.
“The suspects deployed bear spray on everyone in the business, however, the business owner thwarted the attack by brandishing a legally-possessed firearm,” police said. “The suspects fled in a get-away vehicle that was waiting right outside.”
The Upland PD contacted detectives at the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, whose investigations revealed that the suspects were part of a local criminal street gang who may have committed “other recent violent robberies in Claremont and Chino Hills.”
In partnership with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, the Upland PD arrested four suspects and charged them with various felonies.
