The Tampa Police Department is trying to identify and arrest three people involved in an armed robbery Friday afternoon.

According to police, a gray Nissan Altima with a white paper tag attached was seen driving around the parking lot outside the Liberty Jewelers, located at 1957 W. MLK Boulevard around 1 p.m.

In the video, a man wearing a black hoodie and armed with a hammer approaches the display case and smashes the glass before grabbing multiple items.

The second man, who police say was armed and wearing a yellow jacket, stayed at the doorway with the female and pointed the gun toward the interior of the store.

As the armed suspect was pointing the gun toward employees and customers, video shows an armed employee firing a gun at the suspects, causing the trio to flee.
