The high-stakes burglaries, which happened in May 2016 and February 2017, occurred at the Westfield Wheaton Mall J.C. Penney and the White Flint Mall Lord & Taylor, respectively. Both break-ins occurred under cover of darkness, while the stores were closed for business.
Police have since charged Assaloun Luangsay, 35, of Silver Spring, with two counts of second-degree burglary and two counts of theft more than $100,000.
It was 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, May 21, 2016. The general manager of the Wheaton J.C. Penney arrived to find his store had fallen victim to a burglar. A public entrance and multiple jewelry display cases were broken with glass strewn about. Around $153,000 in merchandise was unaccounted for.

Value to fence this jewelry is about $30,000, which is still more than it's worth.
ReplyDeleteI once had a hole in my bag and one of my nuts dropped out. I'm glad that I caught it before I left a trail that the squirrels would follow.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they will leave his "Assaloun" in jail!

ReplyDeleteReminds me of a guy many many years ago who stole a safe from a high school in the winter time. He lived nearby and dragged the safe to his home, through the snow! lmao
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, the police did not have much trouble locating him and the safe.
