7 Charged with Burglarizing Jewelry Stores, Disabling 911 and Internet Service During One Break-In
- Seven foreign nationals were charged on July 4, 2025, with burglarizing two jewelry stores in Glendale and La Verne, disabling 911 and internet services during the La Verne break-in.
- These charges stem from a May 26 burglary at Bidrussian Jewelry, where over $1 million in jewelry was stolen after cutting a hole in the roof, and a June 29 La Verne break-in involving signal jammers and utility line cuts.
- The Glendale Police, assisted by La Verne, Claremont, Glendora departments, and LA County Sheriff's San Dimas Station, apprehended the defendants, who include Jose Millafil and six others, and arraigned them on July 2 at Burbank courthouse.
- District Attorney Nathan Hochman warned that those involved in organized criminal activities will inevitably be caught and brought to justice, and noted that each defendant could receive a sentence of 13 years and eight months if found guilty.
- Bail was set at $2 million each, a preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 28, and authorities warned that crimes disabling emergency services threaten millions of lives and will not be tolerated.
