A 65-year-old woman defended her Garden Grove jewelry store over the weekend against five robbers, and her actions apparently scared the panic into the no-good men.
The brave owner of Continental Jewelry fired two rounds from a handgun, then proceeded to chase the men—armed with pillowcases and pistols—from her store on Sunday.
KTLA reports, "There was absolute panic after the store owner fired her gun. Surveillance video shows the suspects fighting each other to run out the door."
The men were apparently so shaken by the gun blasts that only two of the five suspects were able to escape in the getaway vehicle. The SUV reportedly scooped up the forgotten trio about a block and a half away from the store.
No one was hurt in the fray, including a customer, and zero items were heisted from the store.
Police are still searching for the suspects, who could be the same men who attempted to rob another jewelry store in Westminster the following day. During that heist, the store owner shot one of the suspects in the face.
