IRVINE, Calif. – Irvine police Tuesday were looking for three smash-and-grab robbers who got away with about $900,000 in valuables in a daring afternoon heist.
The three suspects — wearing all black with hoodies and masks — barged into Jewels by Alan at 2963 Michelson Drive about 12:20 p.m. Monday with a tall kitchen-sized trash can and hammers, Irvine police Sgt. Karie Davies said.
As two customers hit the deck, the thieves smashed open display cases and scooped up gems before fleeing in a getaway car, Davies said.
