Without a single witness, prosecutors said the crew stole 24 bags from a Brinks truck filled with Rolex watches, diamond earrings, and gold necklaces.

An elaborate scheme to stalk and rob truck drivers hauling millions of dollars of jewelry and other high-end merchandise has resulted in criminal charges against seven alleged co-conspirators, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

Seven Southern California men on Tuesday were charged for their part in what federal prosecutors called the "largest jewelry heist in U.S history" after they robbed a Brinks truck of nearly $100 million gold and jewelry in Lebec in 2022.
