The Most Insane Robbery Of All Time Just Happened. Here's What We Know.

Zales, Kay Jewelers, Jared, and several others are reeling from a disastrous event that just happened on Tuesday. The losses are estimated to be about $7 billion across several companies. It's no secret that most jewelry companies were already suffering in sales. This is thanks to the online availability replacing in-store transactions. Additionally, generations of consumer bases, such as Millennials, do not desire to support the destructive mining practices and often cannot afford big jewel purchases. This hit may be the final nail in the coffin for some of the largest and longest-running retail outlets.

On Tuesday, a mega-robbery happened. It was devised from a complex plan by a few main criminals and carried out by hundreds of questionable followers. At exactly 4:20 pm Central, spanning several timezones, approximately 59 jewelry stores were held up and robbed. The robbers flaunted deadly rifles and made serious threats to those inside. The executions were extremely well-planned and precise. Only 10% of the stores, or about 6 of them, correctly captured data that was recorded on video cameras or used to allude to identities. The others had successfully cut the power or suppressed those calling to others.

It is estimated that in this 59-store raid, at least three employees or customers were injured and in critical condition. Law enforcement was able to tie together key details in the last few days to identify three main leaders:

• Lisa Herreras, 87 years old, Hispanic female. No history of criminal activity. Believed to be one of the main organizers. Last seen in Orlando.
• Peggy Simonson, 85 years old, White female. No history of criminal activity. Closely involved with Lisa in the organization. Last seen in New Orleans.
• Jack Chen, 15 years old, Asian male. No history of criminal activity. Previously awarded 1st place in a white hat hacking cybersecurity program hosted by the Pentagon. Last seen in San Francisco.

So far, only a handful of those who executed the robberies have been arrested. But no leaders have been identified or found.

The jewelry stores were insured, but only up to $1 billion. The massive losses have already caused their stocks to fall at least 40%. This may be the end for many jewelry stores in America.
