A year before the brazen smash and grab, three men, including at least one of the suspects, asked security guards at a nearby department store whether the local security guards were fast runners.
WALNUT CREEK — A 20-year-old Vallejo man has been charged in connection with a 2022 smash and grab in a Walnut Creek mall where three suspects made off with $92,285 worth of Rolex watches.
Last week, 19-year-old Jamonni Simon pleaded no contest to second degree burglary in connection with the same incident. He was sentenced to 180 days on house arrest and two years probation, records show. Rolex watches have always been a target for thieves, but supply chain issues in 2022 led to a shortage that increased their value, according to. As a result, police say they’ve seen an increase in Rolex robberies and thefts that has been further exacerbated by media coverage of such incidents.
