A Security Camera showed two of the men confronting Jewelry Store workers and security guards at the door. Theres also video of their escape. Local Police Brought in the fbi to help with this case. Why . Because some of the items stolen, like several rolex watches, were imported from switzerland. So they crossed international and state lines. Investigators say the thieves stole more than 1 million worth of jewelry. That just needed a hook to get into this case. They clearly saw a reason to get into it. This usually is handled by the county. Now, to help with the investigation, San Ramon Police used Security Camera video that clearly showed some of the getaway vehicles to Dodge Chargers. A Jeep Grand Cherokee and a toyota sequoia. The federal agents used a gps tracker in one of the stolen rolexes to track those vehicles and ultimately two of the robbery suspects. Now one of the cars, an orange Dodge Charger, had been seen near that Jewelry Store a week before the robbery. The fbi is still looking for other robbers connected to this Jewelry Theft ring.
