The truck was en route to the Pasadena Convention Center on July 11. The value of items stolen was estimated at anywhere from $10 million to $50 million.
Jewelry and gems worth millions — a conservative figure put the value at up to $10 million — were stolen from a Brink’s armored truck near Los Angeles last week, the security company said, leaving some victims wondering how such a theft could have occurred.
But under circumstances that have not been made public, the merchandise was taken from the truck near Los Angeles early last Monday, said Dana Callahan, a spokeswoman for Brink’s. One of the jewelers, who requested anonymity over security concerns given the expensive jewelry he handles, estimated the total value of what was stolen to be between $20 million and $50 million. Callahan said it was less than $10 million.
The jeweler said that Brink’s was not being transparent with the jewelry owners and that many basic questions about the loss remained unanswered.
