California jewelry store owners retaliate against a suspect wearing a Donald Trump mask
An individual who attempted to rob a Southern California jewelry store while wearing a Donald Trump mask was repelled by the shop’s owners.
It all started just before 2:30 p.m. with the failed heist, at Meza’s Jewelry on Main Street in El Monte on Saturday, according to FOX11 Los Angeles. The man is seen on surveillance footage carrying an empty cardboard box and strolling along the sidewalk while donning a Donald Trump mask.
The guy wearing the Donald Trump mask allegedly used bear spray outside the shop to attack a man who was seated outside before running inside, according to the station.

On camera, the suspect who is wearing the Donald Trump mask can be seen using a hammer to break display cases as the co-owners family rushes to stop him. The attacker sprays the family with additional bear spray as they struggle.
Though they are seen striking the guy with what looks to be a stick and wearing the Donald Trump mask and attempting to wrestle him to the ground, the family does not give up and continues to fight back.
The suspect eventually has his shirt pulled off and leaves the business without taking anything. The accused, who the proprietors claim had visited the shop three weeks prior, is still at large.
