After a jewelry heist that nabbed more than half a million dollars of precious gems, prosecutors say the crime may be linked to others around the country. Wednesday at the Regional Justice Center in Kent, prosecutors said the heist could have been a screenplay. “[The couriers are] facing individuals at least armed with a knife, ski masks, gloves; they jump out of a van like you’d probably see in the movies,” explained Gary Erndorff with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
