Eight armed men caused a nightmare of a scene at a Denver jewelry store, the store’s owners say.
Joyerias El Ruby is a family-owned jewelry store on West 38th Avenue in Denver that’s been around for 24 years.
On Monday afternoon, crooks got away with millions in merchandise, according to the store’s owners.
Lidia Tena, one of the owners, said it was a traumatic experience she wouldn’t wish on anyone.
They’re hoping that, by sharing their story, these men get caught soon.
Surveillance video shows the thieves bare-faced grabbing loads of 10- to 14-karat gold necklaces and shoving them into duffel bags.
“I think they stole more than $2.5 million, which all did not belong to us,” said Myrna, part owner and store manager, who chose not to give her last name due to privacy concerns.
Her mom, another owner of the store, Lidia Tena and her niece were fighting for their lives trying to pull down the alarm bell.
