Jewelry thieves struck a heavily-guarded truck outside Los Angeles this month and made off with tens of millions of dollars in gems.
The burglars descended on a Brink's Security vehicle in the wee hours of July 11 at about 2 a.m.
After two security guards, both armed, stepped away from the truck for a few minutes, the robbers made their move.
The group of men made off with containers full of gems and gold that totaled in the tens of millions of dollars.
The robbers pulled off the entire stunt in less than half an hour.
"We are looking at more than $100 million in documented losses," International Gem and Jewelry Show President Arnold Duke told the Los Angeles Times. "This was an absolutely huge crime. One of the largest jewelry heists ever. We are talking gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and loads of luxury watches."
Standard Brinks security trucks are armored vehicles equipped with a variety of safety features and armed personnel. Anti-theft measures on company vehicles have included satellite tracking, a locking mechanism and security cameras.The
July 11 theft included stolen items ranging from cut gems to luxury watches, gold and jewelry. The losses could threaten several businesses whose merchandise was on the truck.

— Brinks Truck Crew Operating Manual
Why would you move $100 million of goods in one truck?
Why did the guards step away?
Who was on the inside?
The guards need to be cool for several years, then the money rolls in. They were players.
So, Brink’s left $100 million unguarded? Who is their insurance underwriter?
Somebody on the Brinks crew got paid off.

This was the Jeffrey Epstein memorial truck!
But did they steal any lupins?
The big rig was at a Flying J. The gang of thieves was able to quickly bypass the truck’s trailer locking mechanism, enter its vast back.
“ Arnold Duke, president of the International Gem and Jewelry Show whose exhibitors displayed the items in San Mateo and were moving them to Pasadena, said the truck contained many 70- to 100-pound plastic containers filled with jewelry, gems and watches.”
Time to buy that beach front house in Angola!
“And leave the doors unlocked.”
Misdemeanor if you are the proper minority.
Deep State shenanigans?
Black Bart!
Sounds like an inside job to me.
I think so as well.
The article says “they stepped away for a few minutes.”
One, always one guard stayed inside the truck when they are out and about.
So both out at the same time is abnormal.
Then the article says it took the thieves a half hour to rob the truck.
Two, since when do BOTH guards leave the truck that long with no one inside it?
Three, it just so happens that at the exact moment both guards leave the truck for a few minutes (half an hour or more), it just happens to get successfully robbed?
Four, a few minutes - over half an hour - the guards are gone and never come back to see it being robbed and engage the robbers...?
And 5, the robbers are polite enough to wait to rob the truck only after both guards decide to leave together for “a few minutes” that turns out to be more than long enough for the robbers to rob the truck and not get into a firefight with the guards...?
Its a inside job with these two guards.
The FIRST thought I had, was, inside job.
