Watch: Bumbling Bad Guys Outgunned By Jewelry Store Owner

STUDIO CITY, CA — Police are asking for help identifying two men involved in the botched robbery of a jewelry store on Ventura Boulevard. The men walked into the shop on May 25 at about 4:30 p.m. armed with pepper spray and hammers, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. They sprayed the store's owner with the pepper spray and began smashing display cases.

"The first suspect also swung his hammer at the store owner," an LAPD spokesperson said in a written statement.

But they were literally outgunned by the store's owner, who opened fire, forcing the bumbling robbers to flee on foot down Ventura Boulevard toward North Hollywood.

"In fear and in defense of her and the customers’ lives, the owner used her legally owned and registered handgun and fired one round at the suspects," according to police. "Neither suspects were hit and they immediately fled the location without any property."

First suspect is described as a male Hispanic or White, 30 to 40-years-old with closely shaved receding dark hair. He stands around 5 feet 7 inches tall weighing around 150 pounds. He was wearing a blue, long sleeved button-down shirt, khaki pants, black tennis shoes, sunglasses, and a watch on his left wrist.

Second suspect is described as a male Hispanic, 40 to 50-years-old with dark hair, mustache or goatee. He stands around 6 feet tall weighing around 175 pounds. He was wearing grey pants, a white long-sleeved button-down shirt, bow tie, fedora, sunglasses, and an earring in his left ear.
