Cameras caught the moment a jewelry store in Beverly Hills lost millions in merchandise in a smash-and-grab robbery in broad daylight on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident took place at the Luxury Jewels of Beverly Hills at the corner of South Beverly Drive and Charleville Boulevard at about 2 p.m.
Authorities said that the five arrived in what they discovered was a stolen car but left it, fleeing in a different, unknown vehicle.
A group of five is seen on video with what police say appeared to be sledgehammers, obliterating the front window of the store. They then took off with several items.
Some of the crooks were spotted wearing hooded sweatshirts and sweatpants, while several wore surgical masks.
The store was left with glass covering the sidewalk below and a gaping hole in their front window.
Peter Sedghi, the store's owner, told ABC7LA that the merchandise taken was valued between $3-5million, with one necklace alone worth nearly $500,000.
Sedghi added that he thought he'd heard gunshots and came outside with his gun.
'It literally sounded like gunshots, so I told my staff, I yelled out, 'everyone down on the floor,'' Sedghi said.
Employees pushed the store's panic button and Sedghi waited until the noise stopped to head outside.

Cool.
Track the crooks with the pings from their cell phones, like the Jan 6 protesters.
That’s what Beverly Hills voted for.
Only when Insurance companies will no longer insure high end store inventory in this area and they all move out will locals get upset.
That is an excellent idea... cancel their insurance that will drive the businesses out and the idiots who voted for this get ghost towns.

No worries! CongressRat Ted Lieu (D, CA) is on it!
In fact, give him a call and tell him what a good job he’s doing fighting crime in Beverly Hills:

(I was surprised to read that Beverly Hills’ population is only about 40K. Always thought it was much larger than that.)
Sadly, that doesn't work. They just MOVE and bring their Socialism with them!
insurance fraud
“That’s what Beverly Hills voted for.!”
Peter Sedghi, the store’s owner, told ABC7LA that the merchandise taken was valued between $3-5million, with one necklace alone worth nearly $500,000.
Not too many half million $ necklace buyers in the world.
Most are elites, who vote for Democrats and financially support the dems as they make life miserable for the non elites.
Nobody “needs” jewelry, just like nobody “needs” a gun in the progressive view. So what’s the big deal here?
In fact, nobody needs a “store” of any kind. The government will issue people everything they really “need.” Stores are part of the capitalist delusion.

Thanks to Diana in Wisconsin for the above reality lesson.
Presumably the insurance companies will hire their own investigators who know all the high end jewelry fences on a first name basis—after they recover the jewels they should cancel the store’s policy.
I thought the same - too many ‘details’...
Indeed when slow thinkers always take the bait and wait and wait and wait..............................
Teens. And like other “teens” they will post their ill gotten booty to facebook and instagram where they will wonder, in amazement, how they got caught.
Except the guy that was planting pipe bombs.... the FBI for some reason won’t track him!......go figure. Was he related to Ray Epps???
