Westfield Century City's lucky streak has been temporarily thwarted. Following this week's exciting development news, yesterday the outdoor shopping center was hit with a major blow: two armed men robbed its Rolex store "firing at least one shot during the heist before fleeing the scene and prompting a massive police search of the area," CBS LA reports.

Although the men—donning all-black uniforms and equipped with assault rifles—thankfully did not harm any shoppers, they did manage to flee the scene in a stolen four-door Camry, making off with "an undisclosed amount of property."

This happened in broad daylight, too. Just terrifying.
