Serial thieves preying on JCPenney jewelry counters in California have taken more than $2 million worth of gold, silver and gems, including a $100,000 heist in Escondido this week.
There have been at least nine recent thefts from JCPenney department stores in the state, leading store officials to offer a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprits.
On Wednesday, a trio of masked burglars hit the jewelry counter at the JCPenney store in Escondido's Westfield mall. It was all caught on surveillance cameras.
Investigators say the theft is related to a string of similar burglaries since December. JCPenney estimates it has lost $2 million in merchandise.
