The attempted theft happened at about noon at Princess Bride Diamonds in the Bella Terra shopping center, police said.
Employees punched, kicked and weaponized a chair to fight off thieves armed with hammers during an attempted smash-and-grab heist on Sunday at a jewelry store in the Bella Terra shopping center in Huntington Beach.
As the masked thieves ransacked the store, two employees rushed at them and exchanged blows, knocking one intruder to the ground, the video shows. Another staff member carrying a chair ran toward the melee and struck one of the thieves with it as they attempted to flee. Justin Lowrie said he was in a garden near the jewelry store when he and several others heard the sound of glass being smashed.Brian Lam was working at SomiSomi, an ice cream shop next to the jewelry store, when he heard three loud noises, and then saw one person wearing something covering his face running south toward the parking lot. Lam later peeked inside Princess Bride and saw at least two display glass display cases had been shattered.
Later, police spotted a vehicle suspected to have been involved in the Santa Ana theft, Lopez said. Three people inside were taken into custody in connection with the heist, and investigators were searching for a fourth.
