The robbery occurred at approximately 10:10 a.m. on Nov. 4. Three African American male suspects entered the Hankook Plaza, located in the 3100 block of Olympic Boulevard, and subsequently entered the jewelry store. One of the suspects pulled out a handgun and held the employees at gunpoint, while a second suspect jumped over the display counters and removed jewelry valued at several thousands of dollars. The third suspect held a security guard at gunpoint when he attempted to intervene. After committing the robbery, the suspects ran out of the plaza and fled in a silver or gray Chrysler Pacifica, with a paper license plate.

A store surveillance camera captured an image of one of the suspects. No specific value of the loss was provided. All three of the suspects were approximately six feet tall and between 165 and 170 pounds. The first suspect was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark colored pants; the second suspect was wearing dark clothes and a dark colored beanie; and the third suspect was wearing a mask and a gray hood over a dark colored sweatshirt and blue pants.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Olympic Division robbery detectives at (213)382-9460. During weekends and off-hours, call the LAPD’s hotline at (877)LAPD247.
