Los Angeles (AP) – The police said that the thieves stem through a concrete wall to reach a jewelry store in Los Angeles, with at least $ 10 million of hours, pendants, gold chains and other goods.
The theft occurred at about 9:30 pm on Sunday at Love Jewels in Broadway at the heart of the jewelry area in the city center, according to the David Cuelalar officer from the Los Angeles Police Department.
He said that the investigators are reviewing the security camera footage showing the suspects who enter the store from a large hole who dug them from the adjacent property.
“They made multiple levels of concrete at the target location,” Coelar said on Tuesday.
He said that an unknown number of suspects escaped through the same hole and set out in the late Chevy truck. The theft was not discovered until the store staff arrived to work on Monday morning.
Coellar said that preliminary estimates are that the goods worth $ 10 million were stolen, adding that the number may change. The owner told the Associated Press that the loss was about 20 million dollars, and that they had no insurance. No warnings have exploded and the feeding was cut off for security cameras in the store.
On the store on Tuesday, the workers covered the hole on the wall with a metal plate, and they were dismissed from other damage and cleaning the transported display and neglected boxes. Two large tanks were stormed, containing all the goods they had in the store.
Customers and friends stop to provide sympathy, so that some ask to buy items.
Love Jewels announces elements such as a yellow golden rope series 14 balls worth $ 1200, a heart -shaped golden earrings and a golden necklace for $ 550. Videos on social media at the store show glass cases full of rings, watches and necklaces.
The police said the investigators examined the scene for fingerprints and DNA.
