«Breaking News» Three men pull off daring $800k jewelry raid at Aspen Piranesi store using only a screwdriver

Authorities say three men stole about $800,000 worth of diamond-encased jewelry from a display case in the lobby of The Little Nell hotel in Aspen, Colorado.

Police said one of the men involved in the theft Friday used a screwdriver to pop open the locked case and put a necklace and at least one ring and a set of earrings into a backpack.

The items belonged to Piranesi, a New York City-based business that has an outlet in Aspen at 525 E. Cooper Avenue.

Surveillance footage showed three men with facial hair, according to the Aspen Times. The three men are also wearing stocking and baseball caps along with puffy coats.

The trio were seen standing in front of the vitrine before going for the steal. 

'It was a little lock … a not very secure case and they reached in and grabbed the merchandise,' Aspen police officer Kirk Wheatley said. 

Piranesi employee Veronica Sumner says Piranesi has had the display case in the hotel's lobby for marketing purposes for more than 20 years. She added that the storefront in Aspen has been there for over 30 years. 

'We are very sad that it happened,' said Piranesi staff member, Tina Taylor. 'We hope they catch the suspects and find our jewelry.'

Wheatley added that 'a whole team is working on it, it's pretty big.'

One of the men is believed to be in his late 20s or older and had a beard while the other two men are said to be in their 20s and had goatees.    

'We do have some leads that we are following up on,' Wheatley said.

According to the police officer, the men had to have been in the hotel on Friday to case the place.  

Assistant Police Chief Bill Linn said that the Aspen Police Department received a call around 1.10pm stating that the robbery had occurred just 10 minutes earlier. 

'The good news is that we captured them on camera,' added Jonathan Fillman, general manager at the hotel. 'We have checked the other locks and they are secure. Everything is in working order.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
