From NBC News: The search is on for a team of thieves who stole millions of dollars in merchandise and cash after they tunneled into a downtown Los Angeles jewelry store.
The owners of Love Jewels say they’re out millions of dollars following the intricate break-in over the weekend. They suspect the thieves took weeks to tunnel into their store, using the abandoned theater next door to do so.
“They probably went in there every night, slowly dug it until there was enough room for them to get in,” the store owner’s son, who wished to conceal his identity, told NBC4.
Love Jewel is a family-run shop, and the owners believe they’re at a loss of upwards of $20 million. Police would not confirm that figure but they said they are investigating the crime.
According to the son, the tunneling thieves managed to disable the cameras and security alarms, and broke into both safes. They are believed to have spent about 5 or 6 hours cleaning out the place.
