Beverly Hills, CA--According to the Jewelers Security Alliance (JSA), a jeweler was violently robbed here on March 4 while showing high-end watches to a customer at a restaurant table.
The JSA report said, "three armed suspects grabbed the jeweler from the back, choked him and put a gun to his head. There was a struggle, and a high end Richard Mille rose gold RM 11-03 Flyback Chronograph watch was taken from his wrist. During the struggle, a suspect's gun fired, and a female diner at the restaurant was shot.
The victim is offering a $50,000 Reward. If you have information on the suspects or the watch, you can also contact JSA at 212-687-0328 or jsa2@jewelerssecurity.org.
JSA Recommendations
1. Do not conduct jewelry business in a public place.
2. Do not resist in an armed robbery.
3. JSA has received recent reports of jewelers being targeted and robbed because they were wearing high end watches, particularly Richard Mille brand watches. Jewelers need to be mindful of their special risks in wearing high end watches, and limit that risk accordingly.
Robberies involving the taking of watches off the wrists of jewelers have now been reported in the New York area and Los Angeles. Law enforcement has arrested two suspects for similar crimes in the NY area who are now being prosecuted federally in the Southern District of New York.
