Surveillance footage showed approximately 20 people breaking into a jewellery store in California, smashing the display cases and making off with the items.
According to a statement by the Sunnyvale Police on Thursday, June 13, some of the suspects were detained after a car chase, while the value of the stolen jewellery was unknown and no victims were injured during the robbery.
The location was verified by roads and interior design of the PNG Jewellers store which matched street view and file imagery. The date of the footage was verified by timestamp in the video which matched the time and date of the incident on an official report. Corroborating visuals of the event shot by different sources showed the same scene.
Police said on Thursday that they were trying to determine if the case is related to an earlier robbery in May which also involved multiple suspects.
