On Nov. 15, police responded to a report of a robbery at Kim Tin Jewelry on Stockton Boulevard.
A group of 12 suspects had forced their way into the store by breaking the front door and used hammers and pickaxes to smash the display cases and steal jewelry, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
