Simi Valley Jewelry Heist Captured on Security Footage

In Simi Valley, California, thieves carried out a sophisticated burglary, stealing over $2 million in cash and jewelry from the family-owned 5 Star Jewelry & Watch Repair. The suspects accessed the store by cutting through the roof of neighboring Dr. Conkey's Candy & Coffee, then tunneling through concrete and an eight-inch safe using power tools, while evading security systems. Security footage documented the thieves crawling through the candy shop and breaching the safe over several hours. The Youssef family suffered devastating losses, including the father's retirement savings, the future of their 25-year-old business, and irreplaceable customer heirlooms. The owners believe professional criminals planned the operation. Police are investigating, while the affected families struggle to recover both financially and emotionally.
