Seven people have been charged in connection with the theft of \$100 million in jewelry from an armored truck in what is believed to be the largest jewelry heist in US history.
Seven individuals have been identified and charged with orchestrating a massive jewelry heist, stealing \$100 million worth of diamonds, emeralds, gold, rubies, and luxury watches. The heist involved stalking an armored truck from a San Francisco jewelry show for approximately 300 miles to a rural freeway rest stop north of Los Angeles. Two suspects have been arrested and charged with federal theft and conspiracy charges, while four remain at large. One suspect is already incarcerated in Arizona for an unrelated burglary. Authorities recovered some of the stolen jewelry. The indictment also includes charges related to other robberies committed by some of the suspects, including a \$240,000 electronics theft. The suspects allegedly used lookouts and employed force or threats of violence to carry out the robberies.
