Four masked robbers executed a brazen midday robbery at a jewelry store in West Seattle on Thursday, leaving with diamonds, gold and luxury watches in less than two minutes that was caught on surveillance video. 

The thieves threatened the store’s staff at Menashe & Sons Jewelers with bear spray and a stun gun after smashing the locked glass front door with a hammer and stealing everything from six display cases in the store. 

"We’re pretty shook up as a staff," Josh Menashe, vice president of the family-owned store, said on Friday. "We’re gonna be closed for a while."

The displays held an emerald necklace worth $125,000 and around $750,000 worth in Rolex watches, police said.

Menashe said the employees were beginning to do a full inventory of the losses after cleaning up the glass. 

The manager of nearby Industrious Gym said the employees escaped out the back and went to his gym for help. 

"They came in telling us to call 911," Matthew Strommen told FOX 13. "I was about to start a class. We were like gearing up, ready to go, and then people come in yelling."

"I think there was a lot of shock and surprise. I think they heard the smashing glass and thought the worst and took off out the back," said Strommen. "We locked up our doors and had everyone in there until the police showed up."

He added, "It was like 11:50 am., I don’t think anyone was expecting something like that to happen in the middle of their workday." 

The suspects escaped in a getaway car before police arrived at noon and no arrests have been made yet. 

No one was hurt during the robbery.

The U.S. Department of the Interior announced Saturday it was adopting a no-tolerance policy for homeless encampments in support of the Trump administration's "beautification" efforts in Washington, D.C.

The previous encampment policy suggested homelessness should be "rare, brief and non-recurring," according to the District of Columbia website.

It noted the protocol for cleaning public spaces was only triggered when a site presented a security, health or safety risk or if it interfered with community use. 

"With this in mind, we provide resources to shelter, pathways to housing and access to behavioral health services to individuals at these locations," officials wrote on the website.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday those living in homeless encampments will need to either accept treatment at a homeless shelter or go to jail if they refuse.

The U.S. Park Police have already removed 70 homeless encampments in D.C., with only a few remaining, Leavitt said. 

The remaining two sites were expected to be cleared this week by multi-agency teams, including the FBI, Secret Service and D.C. police.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum also announced other interior policy modifications for criminal activity.

Burgum noted that anyone who damages federal property will be "prosecut[ed] to the fullest extent," though it is unclear what the former policy was.

He added that U.S. Park Police public information officers (PIO) will be more hands-on, with the ability to pursue fleeing criminals under specified circumstances.

Burgum did not specify what led to the PIO policy change.

The Department of the Interior did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.
