Case Details:

In June of 2025, all four defendants were involved in the theft of 1.5 million dollars worth of merchandise from Alba Jewelry in Sacramento California.  Due to the investigative efforts, the Sacramento County Sheriff was able to track all four defendants to the Lodi Pawn and Jewelry where two of the defendants were arrested inside the store.  The third was arrested fleeing the scene, and the fourth defendant was monitoring the operation from an RV at the Flag City RV Resort.  The Sheriff's Office recovered multiple burglar tools including a signal jammer and property from the Sacramento theft.  Through agreement with the Sacramento District Attorney's Office, San Joaquin County will be prosecuting these defendants for their crimes.  Bail is currently set in San Joaquin County at $1M each.  

 

“This organized crew used sophisticated tactics to target jewelry stores across Northern California. Today we hold them accountable in San Joaquin County,” said District Attorney Ron Freitas.

  

The next court date is scheduled for December 3, 2025 in Department 8C.
