Video shows California diamond shop workers fight off smash-and-grab robbers

Video shows California jewelry store employees fight back after smash and grab robbers rush into the family owned business at Bella Terra, effectively thwarting their attempt to make off with precious diamonds.

But workers at the store quickly jumped into action, running toward the would-be thieves. The employees, including a brother and sister who work for their father who owns the store, begin punching and kicking the robbers. A third worker is seen grabbing a stool and knocking it over an intruder’s head.

At least two of the suspects swing hammers toward the employees while attempting to make their getaway before finally fleeing the scene, and the workers shut the shop doors as they run off.
