Grab the first bag of jewels and smashed the right window to get out (right as you look at them from the inside). It is important to do this as across the road on the left are 2 police than can spot you coming out the door.
If I saw anyone on the street then I made sure they got down. Repeat this for each bag and hopefully you will not get spotted until getting all four. I tended to hit RB a lot when I was moving just to keep telling people to get down.
It took me about 10 tries to finally get this.
It would be easier with 4 player coop as you could follow this tactic and everyone grabs one bag to get it done in one run. The hardest part of solo is the fact you have to do 4 runs since the AI don't bother to help
My suggestion at first would be to invest in the following skills:
- Endurance (Mastermind)
- Transporter (Enforcer)
- Sprinter (Ghost)
- Fast Hands (Ghost)
- ECM Specialist (Ghost)
They're not necessary, but they proved making the task a helluva lot easier. I had them all Aced, apart from ECM Specialist. Why these skills? Well the majority of them are to do with running and interacting with bags faster, and you want to get this done as fast as possible, so why not?
Start the game up and first off scout the store, make sure you know where all the jewels you're going to bag are placed, this'll make the run smoother as you can run directly to the case. If there is a security guard in the store, I would suggest restarting until there isn't one present, he gets in the way a lot. If there are police officers by the hotdog stand, don't worry, they shouldn't prove a problem.
After scouting the cases, mask up. Make everyone in the store get on the floor and proceed with smashing the first case, bag up, run to the van and back to the store. Next bag, same scenario, yell everyone to get down and take it to the van. Now after this one I placed an ECM Jammer on the wall (near the van) just to ensure those outside the store didn't get any ideas, I then ran to the store and took out the front window to speed everything up. I knocked out the next case and took it back. Afterwards, just to be safe, I placed up my second ECM Jammer, ran back to the store and grabbed the final bag, back to the van. Et voila! The ECM Jammer's will prove useful, trust me on this, no matter how many times I tried without them, the police always came along.
If you are aiming to give a negative vote on this solution, please tell me why. Thank you!
Select any Jewelry job in either Crime.net or Crime.net Offline, preferably any easy 1-2 star job available. This is easiest done with four players with the Fast Hands and Transporter skills, so everyone can carry a bag each and have this done within one minute. Once the mission starts, everyone puts on their mask and goes into the store. Tell the civilians to get on the ground and grab the Jewelry then run back to the van.
This one can technically be done solo, but it is very hard to pull off. Thus, it is recommended you do this with at least 2 players. In order to do this, you must secure 4 bags in about 35 seconds (assuming you don't set off the alarm prematurely), as that is roughly how long it takes before the escape vehicle leaves the first time. Make sure you have Two-Piece Suit equipped before you start, along with the skills listed below, as well as a light weapon such as a pistol. As soon as you start, hold to equip your mask as soon as possible, then run into the jewelry store and start bagging the goods. With 2 players, you can secure 4 bags with a few seconds to spare.
Recommended skills for doing this are: Endurance Ace (Mastermind Tier 1), Transporter Ace (Enforcer Tier 1), Sprinter Ace (Ghost Tier 1), Fast Hands Ace (Ghost Tier 2).
In order to buy the contract on Crime.net, Jewelry Store costs between $152,500 (Normal) and $1,050,000 (Overkill) from your off-shore account.

The rest of the strategy is in this video --> Video .
PS You can kill all the people on the street and in the store. The main thing is that there is a silencer on the weapon and all the people do not run away and raise the alarm.
1) You need to have 2 pumped jammers
2) At the beginning, put 1 jammer and quickly steal bags, it’s enough for 2-3, put another one
and we throw our bags in the car and leave
The trophy is yours!
Well, yes, you need to run Normal
