Four masked robbers executed a brazen midday robbery at a jewelry store in West Seattle on Thursday, leaving with diamonds, gold and luxury watches in less than two minutes that was caught on surveillance video. 

The thieves threatened the store’s staff at Menashe & Sons Jewelers with bear spray and a stun gun after smashing the locked glass front door with a hammer and stealing everything from six display cases in the store. 

“We’re pretty shook up as a staff,” Josh Menashe, vice president of the family-owned store, said on Friday. “We’re gonna be closed for a while.”

The displays held an emerald necklace worth $125,000 and around $750,000 worth in Rolex watches, police said.

“I think there was a lot of shock and surprise. I think they heard the smashing glass and thought the worst and took off out the back,” said Strommen. “We locked up our doors and had everyone in there until the police showed up.”

He added, “It was like 11:50 am., I don’t think anyone was expecting something like that to happen in the middle of their workday.” 

The suspects escaped in a getaway car before police arrived at noon and no arrests have been made yet.
