A smash-and-grab robbery carried out by a large masked crew left a high-end jewellery store in Northern California stripped of most of its merchandise, with thieves escaping with nearly USD 1.7 million worth of gold and diamonds in just over a minute.
The dramatic heist, which took place on June 18, 2025, at Kumar Jewellers in Fremont, was captured on surveillance footage later released by the US Department of Justice.
