Jewelry Store Employees Fight Back Against Smash-and-Grab Thieves

A group of smash-and-grab thieves definitely got more than they bargained for when jewelry store employees decided they weren’t going to give up their goods without a fight.

The whole thing went down at Princess Bride Diamonds in Huntington Beach, CA over the weekend. It’s business as usual until 4 men in hoodies, covering their faces and armed with hammers charged into the building. One man was able to smash a jewelry case … but then the employees leap into action.

A male employee comes sprinting to the front of the store, landing some serious haymakers. The female employees turn it on too, kicking, punching and even throwing a chair at the would-be-robbers.

The whole thing is pretty badass … and the crooks take off without managing to steal any jewelry.

Princess Bride Diamonds let customers know they’ll be closed for the next 4 days while they clean up the smashed glass and get their case restored.
