The FBI is currently investigating a jewelry robbery involving thieves tunneling across multiple walls and breaking into a jewelry store in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend.
Millions of dollars of gold and jewelry were stolen from two huge safes of downtown jewelers after burgers crossed multiple enhanced walls into Broadway stores, police said.
In the security videos that broke into the weekend, massive drills can be heard carved on the main theater walls, which makes a hole big and allows a person to slide into Love Jewelry, on Broadway and Reina de Oro on Fifth Street.
Los Angeles police said the thief walked through a room next to the gold merchant on the 500 block of Broadway on Sunday night. LAPD officials said the owner told the department that the thief spent about $10 million worth of goods.
Captain Raul Jovel, who is in charge of the central department of the department, said the thieves entered the building through Roxy, a small cinema next door.
“They went to some very thick old walls. They walked into a small room and walked through the second wall,” Jowell said. “It was a serious excavation.”
Initially, it was believed that only about $5 million of jewelry had been stolen, but officials now believe that $10 million of the north had been taken away, Jovel said.
Jennifer Forkish, LAPD Communications Director, said the FBI’s main theft task force took over the investigation Tuesday.
Qiao Wen said that in recent years, thieves have entered jewelry stores through the roof. Although tunnels are rare, they are not unheard of. Qiao Wen said a business in the fashion district was stolen through a tunnel thief. Last summer, in Northern California, thieves stole dozens of guns and made corners to a store.
Having a strictly secure jewelry store is known for being a rapper, artist and some gangsters’ glittering glitter. On social media, the store has images of personal necklaces paying tribute, golden Rolex watch straps, diamonds engraved with miniature AK-47s, M-4 trinkets and huge gold chains.
Theft is the latest in a series of high-profile capers in movie-style, which are millions of cash, gold or diamonds, while suspects avoid finding. In 2022, up to $100 million of jewelry was stolen from the edge’s large rig. As one guard and another entered the gas station, a group of thieves dragged on a massive scale in the 27-minute window.
Then, in March last year, thieves stole as much as $30 million from the Sylmar cash storage facility in Gardaworld. Los Angeles police responded to three alarms at the facility during Easter weekend in the city’s largest robbery in history, but the offenders have not been found.
LAPD investigators said in the latest downtown tunnel Capers that after getting started, the thief cut off security camera feed and had no images in the business. However, LAPD forensic experts are studying fingerprints and DNA scenarios.
LAPD investigators examined the recordings and determined that the robbery began Sunday at 9:30 p.m., but the burglar crew could have started cutting into adjacent properties. Jewelry discovered theft Monday morning when they arrived at the store.
Investigators believe the possible senior professional thief spent hours in the business. This crime method has helped narrow down potential participants in the robbery.
At least since the 1980s, the thief has dug out his own vault. At that time, there was a hole called the Ground Gang, a crew member tunnel under three banks in the Los Angeles area, driving around the ground of all-terrain vehicles. They broke into two banks and made about $270,000, as well as the contents of a safe box worth millions.
Last March, the thief tried to dig out jewelers on Topga Canyon Square in Chatsworth. According to LAPD, despite it being late at night, the owners were still working and triggering a robbery alert. Thieves broke into the jeweler’s interior walls in several walls of nearby salons and another company.
