In a brazen and swift robbery, four masked individuals stole over $2 million in jewelry from Menashe & Sons Jewelers in West Seattle on Thursday. The crime, which lasted less than two minutes, has left local authorities scrambling to investigate and bolster security measures in the neighborhood.
The suspects, all wearing black masks and dark clothing, fled the scene on foot shortly after the robbery. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots during the incident, though no injuries were confirmed. The store, a well-known jewelry retailer, was closed for business at the time, which may have contributed to the ease of the heist.
Seattle police have launched an immediate investigation into the incident, with detectives now focusing on surveillance footage and witness statements. The theft has sparked concerns about the safety of commercial properties in the area and prompted local businesses to review their security protocols. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the suspects or the crime to come forward.
