NewsCopter 7 was over the scene on Madison Avenue, where authorities say the wild incident played out. Robbers had just smashed the front window of a jewelry store and were on their way out with garbage bags full of jewelry in hand. Screams can be heard from the mother and daughter who own the store in video obtained by Eyewitness News.As the robbers tried to make it into their getaway car, there was one thing they did not account for; they weren't getting away without a fight. "She fought with them like a man," Sanchez said. "She's a brave woman. Stephanie is a brave woman, but I feel so sad for her mother. Her mother fell away. She fell. It was too much." The two fearless women tried to pull the robbers out of the getaway BMW as they hit reverse, sideswiping a parked car. The mother and daughter kept hanging on even as the robbers peeled off, leaving the mother on the ground. Other business owners tried to do whatever they could to help. Someone even kicked the moving vehicle. "One of my workers, she got out from here and then she tried to stop the car and then I was behind her trying to grab her but there is a point that you get so nervous, you get so frustrated that you turn back you know. Because you don't know if those people have guns," Sanchez said. The robbers were as bold as they come. Not only did they hit SD Jewelry on Madison Avenue in broad daylight, but they did it right under the cops' noses. There is a police substation right across the street. Detectives began their investigation into the afternoon smash and grab that targeted a family run business, leaving a whole neighborhood rattled.Officials say officers pursued the vehicle out of town, but multiple suspects remain on the loose. They say no weapons were pulled out, and no one was injured. It's unclear what the suspects got away with.
