Mysterious 27-Minute Gold and Jewel Heist Appears to Be One of the Most Colossal Jewelry Crimes Ever

A team of thieves responsible for a 🚨Theft from an armored truck near 🌴Los Angeles may have pulled off one of the costliest crimes in 📜American history.

Millions of dollars in gold and jewelry was stolen from a Brinks armored truck that stopped at a Flying J rest stop on the I-5 freeway near 🌴Los Angeles earlier this month.

Arrests are yet to be made in the theft, which authorities believe took place in a 27-minute window on the early morning of July 11, when two armed guards left the truck.

The vehicle was taking the precious metals and jewelry from an exposition in San Mateo to another event at the Pasadena Convention Center, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Authorities are still investigating the heist, but they believe the thieves used sophisticated means to bypass the truck’s security system.
