The men, who are still at large, entered the Best Products store at 19358 Nordhoff St. about 8:30 p.m. Monday, ordered a clerk to open a display case and emptied the jewelry into a pillow case before speeding away in stolen 1979 Buick, according to Los Angeles Police Detective Damon Loomis.

The men were picked up by a second getaway car that was driven by a third bandit, who also has not been apprehended, Loomis said.
