During a Brink’s theft that may be America's biggest jewelry heist, one armed guard was sleeping and the other was getting food.
When thieves broke into a Brink's tractor-trailer and stole millions of dollars of jewelry in a late-night heist at an Interstate 5 truck stop last month, one of the drivers was asleep in the vehicle's sleeping berth, the company says. That revelation was disclosed in a lawsuit filed by Brink's against 13 jewelers whose wares the company was transporting from San Mateo to the L.A. area for the International Gem and Jewelry Show.
” In their letter to Brink's, the Wongs said that they have long relied on the company to transport merchandise during their 46 years as jewelers, and it 'became a habit to declare' the value of their goods as $400,000. 'This amount does not represent the fair-market value of the goods since we never expected that it would be robbed,' the Wongs wrote. They said that the 'fair-market value' of their stolen items is about $1.14 million.
