Five men pleaded guilty on Friday, Nov. 22 to a smash-and-grab robbery in the middle of the afternoon at The Jewelry Exchange in Tustin. The defendants were accused of robbing the store at 15732 Tustin Village Way around 2 p.m. on April 28, 2022. Six masked, gun-wielding bandits smashed jewelry cases with a tire iron and hammers and snagged about $87,000 worth of valuables before fleeing, police said.

On Friday, the five men all pleaded guilty to the same charges – two counts of robbery, a count of attempted robbery and five counts of assault with a firearm with sentencing enhancements for being armed with a gun in the commission of a felony. Two of the defendants each got 19 years in prison. Another man got 12 years. One got six years and six months and one got five years.
