Security video from Joyeria el Ruby shows a suspect hitting two women in the head with a gun.
DENVER — Security video from a robbery on Monday shows a group of men being let into a Denver jewelry store and then immediately pulling out guns.
Within seconds one of them jumped over the counter as employees fled to a back room. Another suspect points a gun at those in the store and appears to order them to the ground, although the video is silent.
Denver Police said they’re looking for eight men in connection with the aggravated robbery of a jewelry store in the 5100 block of West 38th Avenue around 2 p.m. on Monday.
Police did not name the business, but the owners of Joyeria el Ruby spoke with 9NEWS and shared videos of the robbery. Their store is located near West 38th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard.
One clip shows three women running into what appears to be a back office. One of them grabs a small child who was sitting on a chair in the office.
The other two are seen trying to push the door closed behind them as several of the men try force their way inside. Two men make it in and are seen struggling with the women before one of them hits the women in the back of their heads with what appears to be a gun.
While they’re in the back room another man comes to the door and appears to be holding multiple chains in his hands. Video from the front of the store showed that same man yanking gold chains of the wall while another man held the customers at gunpoint.
Other clips show the men removing handfuls of jewelry from the cases and dumping them into bags. In a Crime Stoppers bulletin police said the suspects were described as men in their 20s who were armed with handguns.
