Between April 2015 and January 2016, a solo robber hit a slew of Jared Vault, Zales Outlet, and Reeds Jewelers stores throughout the southern US.
According to The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, the stick-ups all followed a similar playbook. Abigail Kemp was accused of pulling a gun on store employees, zip-tying them in the back room, and stealing watches and jewelry.
But Kemp might not have been acting alone.
Larry and Michael Gilmore and Lewis Jones were accused of orchestrating the plot and providing Kemp with training, disguises, and instructions on which jewels to swipe, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In total, Kemp was charged with stealing over $4 million worth of jewels before the ring was busted.
