A suspect in a $100 million jewelry heist in Los Angeles was allowed to self-deport back to his home country by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE officers reportedly transported 42-year-old Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores back to South America after requesting voluntary departure.
Flores was one of seven men charged in connection with the dramatic 2022 theft of around $100 million in gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and luxury watches from a Brinks armored truck at a California freeway rest stop. The group of suspects allegedly stalked the truck carrying the high-value cargo from a jewelry show in Northern California to the Flying J truck stop in Southern California, where they seized dozens of bags of jewelry.
