SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. - An 81-year-old California store owner took on two hammer-wielding robbers.

Security video of the incident, which happened on Feb. 2, was just released this week. It shows two suspects walking into a jewelry store in Sherman Oaks and smashing display cases and stealing jewelry.

The heist is over in seconds, but the owner chases the robbers and even tries to grab one.

Unfortunately, the two suspects got away with several watches.
