The robbery happened at 10:50 a.m. on May 18th 2011 at the Saint Cross jewelry store in Koreatown Plaza, a mall at 928 S. Western Avenue on the corner with James M. Wood Boulevard,
Two young men in hoodies burst in and one grabbed as many watches as he could from a display case, while the other trained a gun on two store clerks. Later when a security guard was seen outside, the gunman headed to the door and pointed the weapon at him.
The suspects reportedly took more than two dozen Rolexes totaling about $800,000 in value.
