LA VERNE, Calif. (KABC) -- Shocking surveillance video captured the moment a group of suspects crashed a car into a La Verne jewelry store during a wild robbery.
It happened just after 12 p.m. on Saturday at Rodeo Jewelers on Foothill Boulevard.
Footage shows a white car suddenly smashing into the store, shattering the front glass windows.
Police said that's when four men went into the store, shattered several display cases and started filling bags with jewelry. They got away with about $300,000 worth of merchandise.
One of the suspects used a chair to attack the store's owner, according to police. The owner said he had to have seven stitches due to his injuries but is expected to be ok.
