GLENDALE, Ariz. — People inside a Glendale jewelry store had a dangerous encounter Wednesday night with a group of alleged robbers who held them at gunpoint.

Officers were called out to the Jared jewelry store near 75th Avenue and Bell Road just before 7 p.m. for a reported robbery, according to the Glendale Police Department.

When officers got to the scene, police said they discovered that the four suspects were still in the middle of robbing the store, and officers from Glendale and Peoria set up a perimeter around the building.

One of the suspects flashed a gun at workers and customers and threatened them against trying to escape, according to police.

At some point, police say the suspects tried to flee in different directions with the stolen cash and jewelry, but officers were able to detain all of them.

Police said the investigation is still ongoing.

Nine people were inside the store when the robbery occurred, police said. Some were zip-tied during the ordeal.

No victims reported any physical injuries and police recovered $1.5 million worth of items.
