FREMONT — Video released by the U.S. Department of Justice shows a robbery crew brazenly strike a local jewelry store during the day with lightning speed, clearing out an estimated $1.7 million in jewelry in about 70 seconds.
The video, obtained by this news organization through a public records request, shows a seemingly chaotic scene. About two dozen robbers rush into Kumar Jewelers with picks, hammers and backpacks, smashing cases and stuffing their bags while the employees run for cover in the back.

No doubt they had inside help.
Somehow that sounds like some kind of dirty words in another language.
On Laverne and Shirley Lenny Kowsnoski said to his pal Sguiggy: "I'm not sure but I believe my family name in Polish means "Help. There's a pig loose in my kitchen."
I always understood that robbing a typical jewelry store wasn’t a great idea as so much of the value lay in the design, not the jewels and materials themselves. I doubt ‘Kumar Jewelers’ is exactly Harry Winston...
My favorite recycled citizen quote on TV news following a neighborhood crime is “You don’t expect something like this to happen here.”
Oh good grief. We let armed robbers out on the street?
A Thompson submachine gun would have been very helpful at this point since the usual suspects were also armed.

More like “I want to kill everyone over on that side of me.”
In Scottsdale, we shoot and don’t ask questions.
Here in Memphis, Steve Mulroy (Soros DA) has an indexed scale deal on armed robbery. If it's less than your 5th offense, you get to plead guilty to "Simple Trespass".
70 seconds for 70,000 each unless the brain gets half first ,LOL
Fremont is the happiest town in the world. According to scientists.
The 1.7 Million is probably retail value.

“Hey Mr Pink didn’t throw in a tip”
Robbers didn't watch Goodfellas.
$1.7 million retail is way more that resale value.
