Instagram Brag Lands Man In $2.6M Jewelry Store Robbery

Man pleads guilty to federal charges related to his role in a $2.6 million heist in Beverly Hills

Ladell Tharpe, along with accomplices, executed a daring daylight robbery at the Luxury Jewels of Beverly Hills jewelry store in March 2022. During the heist, Tharpe acted as the lookout and coordinated getaway vehicles, while his partner smashed display cases and stole approximately $2.7 million worth of high-end jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces, and watches. After the robbery, Tharpe flaunted stacks of cash on Instagram, boasting about his “robbery gang,” which eventually led to his capture. Tharpe has since pleaded guilty to federal charges and now faces up to 20 years in prison, with his sentencing scheduled for early 2024​.
