An Anaheim jewelry store owner last week scared off a group of nearly 20 suspected burglars by firing a warning shot, police said.
The owner of Al-Almira Jewelry, 570 S. Brookhurst St., had finished talking with a customer around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, when five cars pulled into the parking lot and about 18 or 19 people got out and swung pickaxes and hammers at the door, said store manager Ameed Abdel.
"Honestly, we were impressed with our security," Abdel said.
Anaheim police are continuing to investigate the case and confirm if there are connections between the attempted burglary and other area jewelry store burglaries, according to Sgt. Matt Sutter. No arrests have been made.
Police stopped one car that left the scene and arrested two people, but there were at least 12 people involved, Sutter said.
Sutter said jewelry store burglaries seemed to be happening at a higher frequency across the city and that suspected burglars were using smash-and-grab techniques in more cases.
