Two Charged in Beverly Hills Watch Heist
Authorities have arrested two South American nationals, Jesus Eduardo Padron Rojas and Jamer Mauricio Sepulveda Salazar, for the armed robbery of a $1 million Patek Philippe watch in Beverly Hills. During the investigation, police discovered a handgun registered to former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner, who killed four people in 2013, at an Airbnb where the suspects were staying. The suspects, part of a 'crime tourism' ring, are also linked to previous thefts, including a $30,000 Rolex robbery. Federal prosecutors have charged them with multiple felonies, including conspiracy and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Authorities are investigating how Dorner’s gun ended up in the suspects' possession. The crime highlights a disturbing trend of watch thefts targeting affluent areas in cities like Los Angeles and New York.
