Police Seek Suspects Wanted for Santa Monica Jewelry Store Burglary

Four suspects wanted in connection to November 20 incident 

Police are searching for four suspects wanted for robbing a Santa Monica jewelry store in broad daylight. 

According to the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD), on November 20 around 3 p.m., five individuals entered a local jewelry store and committed grand theft.

Two suspects, Suspects 2 and 3, walked into the jewelry store together and approached the salesperson. Shortly thereafter one of them signaled for others to enter the store. During the crime, four suspects distracted the employee while Suspect 1 walked to the back of the store and took jewelry from the safe and display cases. 

“The female suspects were wearing long skirts used to conceal the stolen items and may appear pregnant to help avoid suspicion,” the SMPD said. “All suspects were able to exit the store without the salesperson realizing the theft had occurred.”

The suspect vehicle involved is a 2004-2005 white Toyota Sienna, police say. Anyone with any additional information pertaining to this incident or the suspects is encouraged to contact SMPD Detective Zamfirov at (310) 458-8398, (peter.zamfirov@santamonica.gov), Sgt. A. Lozano at (310) 458-8414 or the Watch Commander (24 hours) at (310) 458-8426.
