Two of seven California men suspected of helping orchestrate the “largest jewelry heist in U.S. history” were ordered by a federal judge on June 17 to be detained until trial, a spokesperson for the local U.S. Attorney’s Office told The Epoch Times.
Prosecutors say the men were part of a modern-day highwaymen crew that allegedly broke into a Brinks semi truck and stole an estimated $100 million worth of gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and luxury watches that were being transported from an international jewelry show near San Francisco in July 2022.
