Heist in North Hollywood nets $2 million in diamonds

Masked thieves got away with $2 million worth of diamonds after trapping the car of a man in North Hollywood, police said Friday.

The unidentified man left a friend’s house around 10 p.m. Thursday and was stopped at the intersection of Burbank Boulevard and Bellaire Avenue. That’s when a car rear-ended him and another blocked the front of his vehicle, Los Angeles police said.

Five or six men in masks and dark clothing jumped out of one of the cars that was blocking the man’s vehicle and smashed one of his car windows. L.A. NOW
