Auckland store owners and locals took matters in to their own hands to defend their shops after a brazen smash and grab.

On Monday, in broad daylight, a group of robbers broke into About Time watch store on Remuera Rd.

Incredible footage of the moment store owners and locals took on the offenders has emerged.

To thwart their escape, people grabbed signs and knives and chased the offenders as they hopped into a silver Toyota Aqua.

One person can be seen hitting the car and another opened the passenger side door and rammed a sign inside the car while it began to drive off.

Someone can also be heard saying "hit him with a knife, hit him with a rock".

Later in the video, a man carrying a knife can be seen with blood on his hand.

Despite the store owners' best efforts, the offenders managed to get away.
