Let's Play A Game Called Auckland Or Oakland

This may look like a typical day in Oakland but believe it or not, this was Auckland Australia.

Six masked thieves - one armed with a machete - targeted Manurewa jewelry store Glitter Jewellers, taking $1 million worth of jewels and gold and terrifying staff and customers.

Security footage of the brazen heist shows the group of masked robbers bursting into the South Auckland store wielding weapons on Anzac Day just before closing time.

Four shocked and scared staff members quickly sought refuge at the back of the store, while five customers fled in terror with two leaping over the counter and another ducking underneath the cabinets.

A couple can be seen hugging each other while mayhem unfolded before managing to escape past the robbers out the shop's front door.

In a heartstopping 45 seconds, the group smash every cabinet with their weapons, emptying trays of jewels and gold bangles into their bags, while a pair sweep gems from the shop's shelves.

The robbers leave the store carrying trays of gems and full bags when the smoke cannon ignites 16 seconds into the heist.
