Video / Incident description

Thieves stealing a $2 million ruby in the shape of the Liberty Bell are caught on surveillance cameras.

The video surfaced on Monday after news came out of the daring jewelry store robbery in November in Delaware.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now on the case after the theft happened on Nov. 1 at the Stuart Kingston Jewelers in Wilmington, Del.

Four robbers entered the store at 1:30 p.m. with three men wearing disguises.

In the video, they are armed with handguns and hammers, as they tied up employees.

The men smashed the display cases to take various items, and get access a vault that contained the “Ruby Liberty Bell”, the largest mined ruby in the world.

After getting their haul, the four men fled in a U-HAUL cargo style van with stolen New York license plates.

The vehicle was last seen at approximately 2:00 p.m. traveling on I-95 North heading toward Pennsylvania.

The California owners of the ruby had hoped to sell it to a philanthropist who would give it to the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia.
