Shocking video footage shows two masked thieves using sledgehammers to smash up a Connecticut jewelry store in a brazen smash-and-grab raid.
Video released by Westport police starts with quiet scenes in Lux, Bond, and Green on Main Street at about 3:10 p.m. Thursday, with only a few people in one room in the store.
Suddenly, the two crooks race into another part of the store, dressed completely in dark clothing — including hoods and covered faces — apart from orange gloves.
They both start smashing up a display, with one of the crooks moving to crack another while his cohort grabs jewelry from the first cracked display.
In less than 30 seconds, they had raced off with “an unknown quantity of jewelry,” police said.
“The employees safely retreated to the rear of the store and had no interaction with the suspects,’ police said.
