San Diego police reported they were investigating a robbery which occurred at a Fashion Valley jewelry store on Sunday afternoon.
The crime took place just after 1 p.m. at Maui Jewelers located at 7007 Friars Rd, according to police.
The store manager, first name Elias, told NBCSanDiego a man walked into the store with a bag and approached a service desk.
"Someone came in brandishing a weapon, demanding watches," said the manager.
Inside the store were a few customers and employees; however no one but the service clerks knew the man was robbing the store until after he left, according to the manager.
"The whole thing was really low-key," he added.
The service clerks gave the man about 20 watches before he fled the store on foot.
One of the employees pushed the security button during the incident, alerting police.
The manager said Maui Jewelers has been inside the mall for 15 year years.
Sunday's robbery comes weeks after a brazen heist committed by suspects who police have yet to catch.
"I think the mall really needs to step up and get more of a police presence in the area," said the manager.
