An 88-year-old jewelry store owner in San Jose is recovering after being violently attacked during a brazen smash-and-grab robbery that was caught on surveillance video. The incident occurred Friday afternoon at Kim Hung Jewelry on Aborn Road, where more than a dozen masked suspects backed an SUV through the store’s windows before rushing inside to steal merchandise, local KTVU reported.
Surveillance footage shows the elderly owner standing behind a display case when the SUV crashes through the front of his store. About 16 suspects, mostly dressed in black clothing and wearing masks, then pour into the business. One suspect uses a hammer to smash display cases while another pushes the elderly owner to the ground as he tries to stop them from taking jewelry. The entire robbery lasted less than two minutes before the group fled in multiple vehicles.
