"They reportedly drove a 2018 Honda Accord into the front of the occupied store, then the group, clad in ski masks and gloves, swarmed the interior and smashed display cases with hammers and other tools and grabbed jewelry by the handful. Also during the robbery, at least one of the intruders reportedly brandished a gun at a security guard while another member of the group held his arms and took him to the ground."
"One of those getaway vehicles, an Acura TLX, was pursued by police and traveled as fast as 70 miles per hour on city streets before crashing. The four defendants ran from the wreck but were soon arrested, and police reported recovering stolen jewelry both in the car and along their failed escape path. Police said around the time of the arrest that one of the suspects confessed to the crime."
More than two dozen people in nine reported stolen vehicles converged on a Fremont jewelry store on June 18. The group drove a 2018 Honda Accord into the occupied storefront, entered wearing ski masks and gloves, smashed display cases with hammers and other tools, and grabbed jewelry. At least one intruder brandished a gun while another restrained a security guard. The group fled with approximately $1.7 million in merchandise. An Acura TLX pursuit ended in a crash; four men ran but were arrested and officers recovered stolen jewelry. The four were initially charged in Alameda County and were later federally indicted on Dec. 18.
