Seven men have been indicted for allegedly orchestrating the largest jewelry heist in U.S. history, stealing up to $100 million worth of jewelry from a Brink's truck in California in 2022. The crime involved meticulous planning, following a series of smaller thefts, and targeted a shipment of valuable jewelry, gems, and watches. Authorities recovered some stolen items and cash, but much remains missing. The suspects, all from L.A., face serious federal charges, and the case highlights vulnerabilities in security protocols and ongoing legal disputes over the value of stolen goods.
