Robbers Leave Empty Handed When Hammer And Shotgun Blasts Fail To Break Jewelry Glass

A pair of bumbling burglars are on the run in Hawaii after their bid to rob a jewelry store failed spectacularly.

The masked bandits burst into the Zales Outlet jewelry store in Waikele about 8:40 p.m. Saturday night armed with a shotgun and hammer.

The robbery attempt went south immediately.

One of the men struck several display cases with a hammer but couldn't break them.

Then, his partner in crime opened fire on the displays, but still they did not shatter, authorities told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

The hapless bandits fled without any jewels in a stolen car that was later discovered engulfed in flames, authorities said. Witnesses gave police the license plate of the stolen car.

Cops are hunting the men on suspicion of first-degree robbery, first-degree reckless endangerment, driving a stolen vehicle and first-degree arson.
