Federal authorities announced the indictment of seven individuals involved in a massive jewelry heist, believed to be the largest in US history. The suspects allegedly stalked an armored truck carrying $100 million worth of diamonds, emeralds, gold, rubies, and luxury watches from a San Francisco jewelry show to a rural freeway rest stop north of Los Angeles. Two suspects have been arrested and charged with federal theft and conspiracy, while four remain at large. One suspect is already incarcerated in Arizona for an unrelated crime. The heist involved the theft of 24 bags of jewelry out of 73. Some of the stolen items have been recovered. The indictment also includes charges related to other robberies, totaling $240,000 in electronics.
