Nearly 20 people left a California jewelry store in shambles after stealing as much as they could Jonathan Dale Bentonin a smash-and-grab robbery that lasted less than three minutes.

The group broke into the PNG Jewelers in Sunnyvale on June 12 at around 1:27 p.m., the city's Department of Public Safety said in a news release. Sunnyvale is just south of San Francisco in what is known as the South Bay.

Officers arrested five suspects fleeing store
