Staff at a west Auckland Michael Hill jewellery store have recounted the terrifying moment thieves raided their store.

Authorities were called to the West City mall in Henderson at 6pm on Saturday after two men, who remain at large, entered the store and stole a large amount of jewellery.

Staffers have told Newshub they were closing at the time - and were horrified when the two stormed the shop.

Police said they then fled in a getaway vehicle.

Officers are still taking fingerprints, and Michael Hill staff said while they're shaken, there isn't a lot of damage.
