Daylight brought chaos to an Anaheim Hills jewelry store as surveillance footage revealed a dramatic smash-and-grab heist. Masked intruders ransacked display cases after crashing a vehicle through the store’s front entrance, then fled in two separate getaway cars, both of which later crashed during police pursuits.

According to a report from FOX 11 Los Angeles, the suspects boldly used a car to force their way into the store.

In the surveillance video, two men are seen inside the jewelry store. A car is visible outside, perfectly aligned with the entrance. Suddenly, the vehicle surges forward, smashing through the glass door and destroying the doorframe.

The footage continues with three masked suspects, dressed in black, swiftly looting the glass cases of their contents, while a fourth individual stands by the entrance, seemingly on the lookout.

Throughout the robbery, a man seated near the front of the store stands frozen with his phone in his right hand, appearing stunned by what is unfolding.

All four suspects then flee through the damaged entrance with merchandise in hand and appear to enter a white vehicle before driving away. The man holding the phone runs to the doorway to record the getaway, while the other man inside the store reappears on camera and looks around at the wreckage.

While the video shows only four suspects, FOX 11 reported police believe eight were involved.

“Eight to ten guys run in with masks, trash cans, and crowbars, hammers, and smash every showcase,” store owner Ramcy Tabelo told the station. “My gun was on the table, they grabbed my gun and at that point I thought I was going to get shot.”

Police said both getaway vehicles crashed during pursuits, with the first crash involving multiple vehicles and the second happening about five minutes later, according to the Fullerton Police Department.

Investigators recovered trays of stolen jewelry from the vehicles.

Authorities said all suspects involved in both crashes fled on foot, though at least five suspects have been taken into custody.
