Surveillance camera footage captured the moments a burglary crew celebrated their score during a jewelry heist in West Hollywood in early June.
According to owners of the jewelry store Huener’s, located in the 7900 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, they were struck on June 17, aka Father’s Day, when the group of burglars broke into the store around 3 a.m.
They say the burglary lasted more than 24 hours, during which they cut open two safes and stole everything from inside.
Video footage shows a group of at least four men high-fiving and hugging each other inside the store as they loot the inside of a safe.
Owners say the store’s alarm system did not send them alerts about the burglary, and despite their requests, the company has not yet provided a reason for the alleged malfunction.
Despite reports from the jewelry store owner that both the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating the case, both departments say they have received no reports.
