The FBI is now working with Los Angeles police to investigate a jewelry robbery that involved thieves through several walls to enter a Los Angeles jewelry store in the city center during the weekend.
Millions of dollars of gold and jewelry were stolen in the two huge safes of a downtown jeweler after the burglars killed in the Broadway store through several reinforced walls, police announced.
In the safety video of the break-up of the weekend, a massive exercise can be understood to shake through the main wall of Castlelike, which makes a hole large enough for a person to be able to enter the love jewelry, Reina de Oro on Broadway and 5th Street.
The Los Angeles Police Department said that the thieves have crossed a room next to the gold merchant in the Broadway Block. LAPD officials said the owners informed the ministry that around $ 10 million in goods had been taken.
The large FBI flight group helps LAPD in the survey, said FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller.
Captain of LAPD, Raul Jvel, who oversees the central division of the department, said that the thieves killed the building in the building by Roxy, a small cinema next door.
“They crossed very thick old walls. They entered a small room then through a second wall,” said Jovel. “It was a serious excavation.”
Jovel said that at the start, it was thought that around 5 million dollars in jewelry had been stolen, but that officials now believe north of $ 10 million.
In recent years, burglars have entered the roofy jewelry, said Joven. Tunneling, although rare, is not unknown. Thieves killed a business district company, said Joven. In northern California, thieves last summer stole dozens of tunnel cannons in a store.
Jewelry, which has strong safety, is known to be the source of bling for rappers, artists and certain gangsters. On social networks, the store has images of personal necklace ads, rolex gold watch straps, AK-47 diamond watch robberies, M-4 trinkets and huge gold chains racks.
The flight is the last of a series of high -level cinema style capers that have seen millions in cash, gold or stolen diamonds while suspects avoid detection. In 2022, up to $ 100 million in jewelry was stolen in a large Brinks platform. While a goalkeeper and another entered a service station, a gang of thieves left with massive transport in a 27-minute window.
The Easter weekend in March from last year, thieves stole up to $ 30 million in the Sylmar storage installation in GardaWorld. The Los Angeles police responded to three alarms in the establishment during the greatest breakage in the history of the city at Easter weekend, but the criminals remained unteashed.
In the latest downtown tunnel caper, LAPD investigators say that burglars, after entering, cut the safety cameras flow, and there are no images inside the company. However, LAPD medical-legal experts examine the scene of fingerprints and DNA.
LAPD investigators examined the recordings and determined that the robbery began around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, but the burglary crew could have started to cut adjacent properties earlier. The jewelers discovered the flight on Monday morning when they arrived in their shop.
Investigators believe that high -level professional burglars spent several hours in the company. The Modus Operandi of such a crime has already helped reduce potential suspects in robbery.
The burglars have made their way in the vaults since at least the 1980s. At the time, there was a crew known as Hole in the Ground Gang which killed three banks in the Los An region, zipping in a metro in all-terrain vehicles. They burst into two of the banks, making around $ 270,000 and the content of the security deposit boxes is potentially worth millions.
In March 2024, thieves tried to kill a jeweler at the Topanga Canyon Plaza in Chatsworth. According to the LAPD, the owner worked and triggered the flight alarm to respond to the police. The thieves had crossed several walls in a neighboring living room and another company to reach the interior wall of the jeweler.
