"The jewel heist, dubbed the largest in U.S. history, involved extensive planning and execution by a crew that targeted a specific Brink's truck at a gem show."
"After a detailed investigation, it became clear the crew had carefully scouted the gem show, marking their intentions to steal over $100 million in jewels."
On July 11, 2022, a major jewel heist—reported as the largest in U.S. history—occurred when seven suspects stole over $100 million worth of jewels from a Brink's truck. Federal court documents reveal that one suspect attended a gem show in San Mateo, scouting potential loot and identifying their target, a Brink's truck outfitted with 73 bags of jewelry. The suspects trailed the truck, executing their plan at a truck stop while a driver was momentarily away. The incident raised serious security concerns, prompting discussions about undervaluation of goods by the jewelers involved.
