Wow!! That jewelry store is well inside the lobby and you would have to drive through the front doors past the front desk to get there. Unreal!!

First, let's pray no one was hurt!!!Second, hope the camera's got it all on tape!!! So, if they crashed the car, they got away on foot OR they had a back up car waiting, because the first car was stolen!!!Let's hope they are caught and justice is carried out!! The Dutch government needs to make an example out of these brazen pricks!!

Here is the security camera video. There is also an article on Jeff Berger’s web page that state that an employee was hit with a crowbar. https://fb.watch/ALDJfu_bNk/?fs=e

Armed and using a crowbar to strike the owner is pretty violent. Hope they catch them and use that crowbar on them.

This is really scary. We go there each year and always felt safe there but this sure makes you think twice about your safety.

Watching various videos, there is one guy in pink shirt who just stands and watches with crossed arms. Someone points a gun near me and i am road runner.

At first when I heard of this robbery I thought why would somebody commit a crime in Pelican Key. There is only one way in and one way out on Billy Folly Road and the police could wait at Welfare Rd for the criminals to exit. Then I watched the video and the thieves were inside SBR for just over 2 minutes at 5pm. Which would be the same time that the Simpson Bay bridge would be up for inbound traffic. That would eliminate any police west of the bridge to respond. They knew when to strike!!

@WhaleTail - I thought along the same lines. Tactically, egress would limit you to only one route. But if the bridge is up, then no vehicle from the station on the far side could respond. The nearest station on the east side is too far away to respond in time. If they planned the robbery that much, then they would have planned for a clean escape vehicle - be it a car or a moped. I used to be involved on the LE side of those tactics and am surprised at the level of sophistication shown. Was this a special jewelry store with more than average product on display?

If theyb actually watched the video (and the posted door damage) it was obvious that the robbery took place at SBR and the jewelry store was obviously the one robbed

not sure that it would've helped any but it was disturbing that the "crack security" were the first to bolt! Maybe they'll be some security job openings?

Until they allow security guards to be armed, they will continue to bolt. Doesn't work well when the criminals have guns and security doesn't.
