Five suspects were arrested for allegedly escaping with $200,000 worth of jewelry in a smash-and-grab burglary in San Bernardino County.
The suspects were identified by Rancho Cucamonga sheriff’s deputies as:

- Kevin Yarbrough, 23, from San Bernardino
- Keenan Edwards, 34, from Upland
- Antoine Davis, 42, from Los Angeles

The smash-and-grab theft occurred on Sept. 22, 2023. Deputies responded to Gemma’s Jewelers on the 10500 block of Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga at around 3:05 p.m.
The suspects barged into the jewelry shop and began violently smashing display cases with hammers, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
The theft, which was caught on security video, showed at least one suspect holding a large plastic bin of merchandise as the thieves grabbed as much jewelry as they could.
They escaped with around $200,000 worth of merchandise, authorities said.
