They are a couple of gems.
A WILD video showed a mother and daughter fearlessly trying to fight off a crew of jewelery thieves, clinging to one of the thieves to stop him speeding off to loot their shop.
The brave girls, who own SD Jewelers in Perth Amboy, are seen in dramatic footage chasing down four bandits who used sledgehammers to smash the window of their family-run store on Wednesday.
After that, the unknown couple caught one of the masked crooks as he jumped into a stolen BMW with a bag of jewelry, according to the American “space” website. ABC 7.
The station reported that the cruel daughter remained clinging to the fraudster’s clothes, even when the crew took out valuables valued at an estimated million dollars.
Jessie Sanchez, who owns a salon across the street, said of the daughter: “She fought with them like a man. She’s a brave woman.” “Her mother fell. She fell. It was just too much.”
The newspaper reported that the mother fell to the ground while wrestling with the thief, and sustained bruises on her arms and legs.
The stunning footage also shows the smash-and-grab crew forcing their way through a shop window in broad daylight, then stuffing the jewelery into black bin bags before escaping.
The store owners told the station that they are fighting for their livelihood because they cannot afford insurance for the store.
The four suspects in the robbery were at large on Thursday, and the Perth Amboy Police Department is now investigating.
