Visuals: Indian Jewelry Store Robbed in CA

The Indian community in the United States is reeling from another brazen daylight robbery, this time at Bhindi Jewelers in Fremont, California.

On Wednesday afternoon, around 15 armed men stormed the store, smashed display cases, and made off with a significant haul of gold and diamond jewelry, along with several Rolex watches.

Last year, the FBI busted a violent crime ring, arresting over a dozen members for a series of armed robberies targeting Indian jewelry stores across multiple states, including New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, and Pennsylvania. However, it seems this has not deterred other robbers.

A video capturing the aftermath of the Fremont robbery is circulating on social media.

In the video, a voice can be heard saying, “15 people just started smashing away. Luckily nobody is hurt.” Eyewitnesses reported seeing one suspect flee towards a nearby mall and another towards a high school.

Investigations are currently underway. Bhindi Jewelers, renowned for its Indian jewelry and watches, has branches in California and Atlanta.
