A jewelry store in the San Francisco Bay Area was ransacked by a group of more than a dozen people Wednesday afternoon.

The suspects used tools to smash open the doors at Bhindi Jewelers, which normally buzzes customers in, CBS News reports. Between 12 and 15 masked men and women then rushed into the store, which is located in Newark, witnesses said.

Among the items taken were watches, necklaces and rings, with the suspects leaving in four cars, witnesses said. No estimate for the dollar amount of the loss has yet been released.

Police recovered two stolen vehicles believed to be connected to the crime, according to CBS News.

No arrests had been reported as of Friday.

When the Kids Have Their Own Careers, Wilkerson Can Help You to Retire

Alex and Gladys Rysman are the third generation to run Romm Jewelers in Brockton, Mass. And after many decades of service to the industry and their community, it was time to close the store and take advantage of some downtime. With three grown children who each had their own careers outside of the industry, they decided to call Wilkerson. Then, the Rysmans did what every jeweler should do: They called other retailers and asked about their own Wilkerson experience. “They all told us what a great experience it was and that’s what made us go with Wilkerson.” says Gladys Rysman. The results? Alex Rysman says he was impressed. “We exceeded whatever I expected to do by a large margin.”
