Surveillance Photos: $68,000 In Jewelry Stolen, 3 Arrested
Police Say One Suspect Was Inspired By Movie

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- Gwinnett County police say three suspects were arrested in connection with a diamond store robbery.

Officers say the men wore masks into the S.E. Diamonds store and pointed a gun at the victims.

They took $68,000 in jewelry and $20 from cash from the register, according to reports.

On Wednesday, officers stopped a vehicle that they believed was related to recent car thefts.

The officers found four masks, a black Glock replica BB gun and tools for breaking into cars in the trunk, according to police.

Two of the masks and the gun were determined to be identical to those used in the S.E. Diamonds robbery.

Chang Choi Rack, 18, Seung Woo Park, 18, and John Nguyen, 22, were each charged with 11 counts of entering auto and 11 counts of possession of tools for the commission of a crime.

Through further investigation, detectives determined Park and Nguyen were responsible for the S.E. Diamonds robbery. Police said Park said he was inspired to commit the crime by the movie "TheTown."
