The incident took place at PNG Jewelers on Wednesday afternoon. The store is located at 791 E. El Camino Real. Police said at least five people have been arrested, but they are looking for more suspects. The surveillance video's timestamp shows the robbery happened just before 12:30 p.m. Well over a dozen suspects, clad in black clothing, barge into the store and begin smashing the glass counters as they ransack the place.
Police said the five suspects from that car fled on foot and ran across the freeway into a nearby industrial area in San Carlos where four of them were caught. The fifth suspect was eventually taken into custody in a nearby area when a police K-9 unit caught up with him. Police have identified those suspects as; Tonga Latu, Tavake Esafe, Ofa Ahomana, Kilifi Leaaetoa, and Afuhia Lavakeiaho.
