Chinna Jewellers Inc. in Sacramento, California, was rammed by a car in a violent break-in, marking the second time the store has been targeted in nearly six years. The store’s walls are now boarded up after a car sped through the parking lot, narrowly missing a security guard before jumping the curb and crashing into the storefront. “In this moment, the car, like, flew and rammed the door,” said Alex Marchuk, a private security supervisor tasked with protecting the store. Marchuk said he sprang into action after witnessing the crash. “I saw right there, a family member, elderly man. He was laying under the car right there and yelling,” Marchuk said. The store’s owner, Inderjit Singh, said he, his family and customers were inside at the time, describing the sound of the crash as resembling an explosion. Singh’s uncle remains hospitalized following the incident. “Big robbery. This one was big. So now I want my safety,” Singh said. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, the security guard’s actions prevented the situation from escalating further. “That security guard absolutely thwarted this robbery from occurring,” said Edward Igoe of the sheriff’s office. Marchuk said he drew his gun and commanded the suspect to stop and lay on the ground, but the individual, wearing a hoodie and black gloves, did not comply. As Marchuk chased the suspect out of the store, he noticed several cars pulling up and people with bags, suggesting a coordinated effort. “When they saw me with a gun and this guy fleeing, they very quickly jumped again inside and they were running from here,” Marchuk said. Singh said this is the second time his store has been broken into, with the last incident occurring in 2020. “My whole family, my kids, everybody is scared,” Singh said. “I don’t know why the people are targeting my store, you know, because I do the business, I’m helping the economy.”While nothing was stolen, Singh said the damage to the store is extensive. “All the security gates … They broke everything. So then now I’m in a very hard situation,” Singh said.The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said there is currently no suspect description and no arrests have been made. The suspects could face charges of attempted robbery and attempted murder.
