Jewelry stand throws attempted robbery off track

[April 13, 2011]  HONOLULU (AP) -- Police say two men tried to kick, smash and shoot their way into a display of jewelry at a Hawaii store, but came up empty.

Surveillance video shows the would-be robbers using a hammer, a shotgun and their feet to try to get into the case Saturday night as bystanders scattered about the Zales store at the Waikele Premium Outlets on Oahu.

But the case was seemingly unbreakable, and the men eventually left without getting to the jewels.

Honolulu police are seeking the public's help in capturing the men.
