Heist took place at Love Jewels in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after thieves bore through levels of concrete

Burglars tunneled through a concrete wall to gain access to a Los Angeles jewelry store, making off with at least $10m worth of watches, pendants, gold chains and other merchandise, police said.

. . .

In security video obtained by KTTV, the sound of a drill can be heard from inside the store. Once inside, the burglars apparently cut the cameras’ wires.

The TV station showed holes cut in a large safe, overturned jewel cases and an empty bottle of scotch whisky.

. . .


Of course almost all retail jewelry is priced at 5-10 times actual worth. But the thieves had the good taste to drink Scotch. I wonder which brand?
