Surveillance video provided by the family shows the frightening ordeal in the driveway of the home on Chatham Drive.

The thieves made off with a Cartier bracelet, a gold Rolex, a David Yurman ring, a diamond tennis bracelet, and two Louis Vuitton bags.

The homeowner said he tried to go get a weapon to fight off the robbers, but they were too quick, fleeing after less than a minute.
