"California Jewelry Store Owners Defend Against Trump Masked Suspect in Smash-and-Grab"

A family-owned jewelry store in El Monte, California, fought off a would-be smash-and-grab robber wearing a Donald Trump mask. The suspect used bear spray on the family and attempted to steal jewelry, but the owners fought back, hitting the suspect with a stick and wrestling him to the ground. Eventually, the suspect fled empty-handed. The family stated that they worked too hard to let a thief ruin their livelihood. This incident comes amid an ongoing crisis of smash-and-grab robberies in Southern California, with another jewelry store owner in Pasadena recently losing $500,000 worth of jewelry in a similar incident.
