As a native English speaker it sounds strange to me. I have heard it used before by a fluent English speaker who was not a native speaker and it made sense, but caught me off guard at first.
It reminds me of how my French grandma would say "shut the lights" instead of "shut off the lights", or "shut the lights off". It makes enough sense to understand, but doesn't feel quite right.
