Deputies Arrest Suspects in Brazen Rolling Hills Jewelry Store Burglary

Deputies arrested three burglary suspects who allegedly cut a hole in the roof of a Rolling Hills Estates jewelry store, authorities said today.

The heist occurred about 8:45 a.m. Thursday at Morgan’s Jewelers in the Peninsula Shopping Center off Silver Spur Road and the suspects fled just before deputies arrived, said Detective Thomas Arellano of the sheriff’s Lomita Station.

During a search of the area, deputies located and arrested 26-year-old Jeremy Tillet of Perris, Arellano said.

“Working on additional information from witnesses, the suspects’ getaway vehicle was spotted by deputies and a coordinated high-risk traffic stop was effected,” Arellano said, adding that “evidence linking the suspects to the burglary was recovered from the vehicle.”

Arrested during the stop were Derrick Seymour, 28, of Inglewood and Paul Kenny, 20, of Compton, Arellano said.

All three men were booked at the Lomita Station and bail was set at $50,000 apiece, he said.

They were due to appear in court in Torrance on Monday, Arellano said.
