Two thieves worked tirelessly to smash a single display case, but it refused to give way. The robbery attempt, which took place at a jewellery store in Malaysia, has gone viral on social media. CCTV footage of a gang of four thieves, their faces concealed with bike helmets, attempting to break the display case of Kedai Emas Sri Alam jewellery store with hammers was shared by the store on July 25. It has since then collected over 5.8 million views on Facebook.
The incident took place on Monday evening in the city of Shah Alam.

In their Facebook post, the store has confirmed that nobody was injured, although the store will remain shut for two weeks as repairs take place.
According to the website Hype, it was probably the polycarbonate glass used in the display counter - which is 10 times more resistant than glass or plastic - that prevented the robbery.
Shah Alam Deputy OCPD Supt Nek Zaidi Zakaria confirmed the case, saying six suspects were involved in the robbery, the Inquirer reports.
"We haven't checked our stock thoroughly but from what I saw, the robbers didn't get away with anything," said an employee of the store, according to the Inquirer.
