Police said the robbery was the worst the Von Jewelry had experienced in its more than 40 years in business.
“We’ve been robbed several times before, but never on this brazen scale,” Trinh told KGO. “There were eight people, two getaway cars, and guns. I thought, ‘Did the mother get shot? Was the father shot? Was one of the staff members or community members shot?’ I did.”

According to the department, the family let the store’s business insurance lapse due to rising insurance premiums.
“It’s tough,” Trinh told KGO. “My mother is the leader of the pack. When she suffers, I suffer too. So does my mother.”
