Burglars executed a sophisticated heist in Los Angeles by tunneling through a concrete wall to access Love Jewels on Broadway, making off with an estimated $10 million worth of watches, pendants, gold chains, and other merchandise. The incident took place around 9:30 pm on a Sunday in downtown LA, with suspects entering the store through a drilled hole from the adjacent property. Officer David Cuellar of the LA police department revealed that the burglars navigated multiple levels of concrete to reach their target location. After the theft, an unknown number of suspects escaped through the same tunnel and fled in a late model Chevy truck, evading detection until store employees arrived the following morning.

Initial estimates placed the value of stolen goods at $10 million, although the owner indicated losses exceeding $20 million in an interview with KTTV. Security footage captured the sound of drilling and the disabling of cameras inside the store. The aftermath revealed breaches in a large safe, overturned jewel cases, and an empty bottle of scotch whisky. Love Jewels, known for offering items like gold chains, earrings, and pendants, displayed a range of products in its glass cases.

Authorities conducted a thorough investigation, collecting fingerprints and DNA evidence from the scene to identify the perpetrators. The daring nature of the crime, coupled with the meticulous planning involved, has underscored the need for heightened security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
