RAW: SMASH & GRAB ROBBERY AT BAY AREA JEWELRY STORE

Shocking video of a smash and grab robbery involving hammers and tools at
Sunnyvales PNG Jewelers USA. Police say theyve made five arrests and are looking
for more suspects.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Video of a shocking smash and grab robbery shows the moment
a Sunnyvale jewelry store is overwhelmed by suspects armed with tools and
hammers. 

The incident took place at PNG Jewelers on Wednesday afternoon. The store is
located at 791 E. El Camino Real. Police said at least five people have been
arrested, but they are looking for more suspects. 





The surveillance video's timestamp shows the robbery happened just before 12:30
p.m. Well over a dozen suspects, clad in black clothing, barge into the store
and begin smashing the glass counters as they ransack the place. 

Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said their officers responded to a report
of a robbery in progress and that approximately 20 suspects were involved. 



"The suspects fled the store in multiple vehicles before officers arrived on
scene. Officers located two suspect vehicles as they were attempting to flee the
area," Sunnyvale DPS said in a news release. 

Two vehicles managed to evade police who attempted to stop them, which led to
pursuits. 



Police said they chased the suspects onto Highway 101 towards the Peninsula.
Police lost sight of the first vehicle. The second vehicle discarded stolen
jewelry from the vehicle during the pursuit, police said. 

Police also lost sight of the second vehicle. However, a police department
providing mutual aid located the second suspect vehicle as it was abandoned on
Highway 101 along Whipple Avenue. 

Police said the five suspects from that car fled on foot and ran across the
freeway into a nearby industrial area in San Carlos where four of them were
caught. The fifth suspect was eventually taken into custody in a nearby area
when a police K-9 unit caught up with him. 

Police have identified those suspects as; Tonga Latu, Tavake Esafe, Ofa Ahomana,
Kilifi Leaaetoa, and Afuhia Lavakeiaho. 

The suspects were booked into Santa Clara County Jail for armed robbery, felony
vehicle evasion, resisting arrest, burglary, conspiracy to commit a crime,
vandalism, possession of burglary tools and for outstanding warrants. 

The surveillance video shows display cases being emptied into bags and backpacks
brought by the suspects whose faces are shrouded by masks and hoods. 

It is not clear if there was anyone working inside the store at the time of the
robbery. 

The California Highway Patrol, Palo Alto Police Department, Belmont Police
Department, South San Francisco Police Department and the San Mateo County
Sheriff's Office all provided assistance in this case. 

Police said the case remains under investigation and that investigators are
checking to see if the suspects involved were also involved in a Sunnyvale
jewelry store robbery in May that also saw multiple suspects.
