In the past, Brink's has dealt with its fair share of robberies.
KPIX says that the gems – some of which were sapphire and 19-karat yellow gold – were going to be showcased at the, a direct-to-consumer jewelry show that sells loose gems, watches and accessories. The merchandise was reportedly loaded inside the Brink's vehicle last Sunday evening, and by Monday morning about two dozen lockers were gone – and so were the 18 vendors’ livelihoods.
"My life. That's how I live. That's how I feed my kids," one anonymous victim told the outlet. KPIX says that the jeweler doesn’t have a showroom and makes all his money through trade shows. Some victims reportedly spent nearly 40 years building their repertoires when they suddenly vanished early that day.
Brink’s issued the following statement to KPIX: "Earlier this week, a loss incident involving a Brink's vehicle occurred near Los Angeles. We are working with law enforcement and we will fully reimburse our customers for the value of their assets that were stolen, in accordance with the terms of our contract."
The outlet confirmed that the FBI is investigating the incident with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
