They are accused of stealing 19 bracelets, seven pairs of earrings, four necklaces, a pair of obelisks, eight rings and 20 watches.
A federal grand jury indicted three Long Beach men on Wednesday, Oct. 5, who are accused of participating in the daylight smash-and-grab robbery of a Beverly Hills jewelry store when more than $2.6 million in merchandise was stolen.
On March 23, the defendants and other co-conspirators drove in three vehicles from Long Beach to Beverly Hills, according to the indictment. Vernon and the others ran out of the store to a nearby alley, leaving behind their Kia — which had been reported stolen out of Long Beach four days before the robbery, according to an affidavit filed with a criminal complaint in L.A. federal court.
On March 25, Tharpe posted on his Instagram account numerous photographs that included large stacks of money and a message praising his “robbery gang,” according to the indictment. Law enforcement arrested the defendants last month.
