A Long Beach man admitted to his role in a $2.7 million robbery at a Beverly Hills jewelry store, where he smashed open the store's glass display case before taking off with dozens of earrings, necklaces, rings and watches. Jimmy Lee Vernon III pleaded guilty to one federal charge of interference with commerce by robbery , confessing in a plea agreement that he used heavy tools to break open the glass case — right in front of store employees in the middle of the afternoon.
'Kevin Sedghi, owner of the boutique, told everyone inside to get on the floor because he also thought it was gunshots. He said he was just relieved no one was injured.'I'm just happy no one's hurt. That's all that matters,' Sedghi said. 'My employees are like my family. So as long as no one is hurt, it's fine.'Vernon, 32, the other two men and a juvenile not identified because of his age were all arrested six months later.
