Sweet Score: The Jewelry Heist That Started in a Candy Shop

It's Memorial Day 2025 and employees at Dr. Conkey's Candy and Coffee in Simi Valley, California open the shop for the holiday. They are immediately met with disarray. There is paint splashed over the cameras, entire shelves are toppled over, and the safe is open. Strangely, there is also a hole in the wall leading to the business next door, 5 Star Jewelry and Watch Repair. The jewelry store owners rush over, fearing the worst, and sure enough, when they open the safe, customers' jewelry, gold bars, and all their savings, $3.5 million total, are gone.
