Sunvalley Diamond Store Blitzed By Hammer-Wielding Thieves Monday
A squad of masked, hammer-wielding thieves stormed a Sunvalley jewelry store Monday, attacking display cases with construction hammers and making off with an undetermined amount of goods.
The robbery was reported by patrons who saw the robbery crew – comprised of seven to nine males in their late teens to early 20s – enter the mall at approximately 7:20 p.m. and make their way to the Iceberg Diamond store on the mall’s second level.
The suspects brushed past employees and attacked the cases, grabbing what they could before exiting the store.

Who raises these pathetic proletariat savages?
In an era of generational labor shortages and spiraling wages and benefit costs, there is no excuse whatsoever for predatory pilfering.
Don’t blaspheme my beloved proletariat…The proletariat IS the working class. Those who labor to produce something. These human specimens are criminals.
There we go. We were hoping someone would come along to make the distinction.
No further description of perps? Quite brazen.
Next week – Sunglasses Hut. Again.
Hoodies-R-Us first, then the Sunglasses Hut, then onto another jewelry store…
Dont forget Lowes — got to get the hammers.
About as frequent now as my morning telemarketing calls.
Surprised in these divisive times that we can get more than three people to do anything together!
sorry for the business. can’t be easy to recover from
108RS would have taken care of the crew.
hahahahhaaahahha! O, you were being serious…..
Not a problem for a Firestone Deputy. 108RS
What about Soccer Mom Sherry?, as in day-dreaming Deputy Dry Sack?
Haven’t been to Sun Valley in years. It always seemed to grey and sad.
When Sunvalley Mall was launched in 1967 it was reportedly the biggest and finest in America of new breed indoor malls. Unfortunately social and economic trends of the area have turned it into a lower end type place. Spooky at times to be shopping at. Thankfully the Pleasanton Stoneridge Mall is still a very nice place for those who like to visit and enjoy a nice Mall.
The only problem is that Pleasanton Mall has had a couple of robberies and a shooting recently, still much better than Sun Valley.
Yes – was just going to say this. We used to visit Stoneridge quite often but not so much now. Unfortunately any place that seems to gather a crowd has been problematic for us. We know people like and use the malls but they are a no go for us these days.
Roving crew or locals starting their Christmas shopping early?
TBD Robert. Certain amount of organization and “sophistication” indicates prolific crew. To us.
If I had those 9 guys on my construction crew I could have built my house in half the time.
They come covered up dont they?
They do…
Wow. Some gang bangeers girl friend is going to get a necklace this Christmas.
Those are some HEAVY hammers, yielded feebly. Those are cabinets of glass, fellas. Not ready for hard time.
Where’s Psul Blart when we need him?
Here’s a bigger question. Were any of the arrested Walnut Creek looters ever prosecuted and what is there status? 108RS
I recall the WCPD slowly marching down Main Street from the PD to Broadway Plaza. Bizarre. Then ‘clearing’ empty stores as the criminals were already given time to escape.
Mark,
WCPD was a disaster that day, and I have an expert opinion. Granted that no one would have expected a group that size to descend upon sleepy Walnut Creek, but the response of WCPD was exceptionally poor, I attribute it to the City Council and Police Chief (not the most experienced guy in the world although a nice and very bright guy).
My office building is across the street from Broadway Plaza, I exited my office as it was all happening, I took pictures, I could have done a Kyle Rittenhouse, I had all of the tools, but I know better, one individual did threaten my life for taking a picture of him.
Now, what has Becton done with the few that were arrested?????????????
