CROWN POINT, Ind. — A Northwest Indiana man was charged for allegedly stealing over $1 million worth of watches from a Gold Coast car dealership.

On Dec. 11, two men entered a Bentley dealership in the 800 block of North Rush Street and conducted a smash-and-grab. One men stood by the door with a gun as the other smashed glass displays full of luxury watches.

Police estimate over $1 million worth of watches were stolen in the heist.

Carlos Valliant, 38, of Hammond, is accused of being one of the suspects.

According to court records, a extradition filing was issued on Jan. 26 while Valliant was in Lake County Jail for an unrelated charge. He was charged with theft and burglary in Cook County on Thursday.

The dumbass probably advertised some of them for sale online… or responded to a “wanted to buy” ad.

Good crimes are wasted on the stupid.

The man that can afford a luxury watch can afford to be late.

The other bit of good news is that the dealership owner has made himself a thorn in Lori Lightfoot’s flesh in regard to Chicago’s crime wave.

Suspect: “During a traditional smash and grab with glass shards flying and a blunt object used, it is important to find and steal a watch that can take a licking and keep on ticking.”

I remember this...the owner said all his guys were armed.
I never knew why they let these two commit the crime.

“Car dealership/watches?”

Goldcoast is a Rolls Royce, Bentley and other high end dealership. The owner, Joe Perillo also owns Perillo BMW. The lifestyle and other branded jewelry and watches are very high end...

Perillo’s security is armed, but did not open fire on these felonious fools that robbed them.
