These three men, all South Los Angeles residents and documented members of the Rollin' 30s Crips, aka the Dirt Gang, have stalked a man to the restaurant, their eyes on the 500,000 Richard Mille watch strapped around his wrist.
The robbers go for his watch, but the victim, an Isreali military veteran, is no easy prey for three gang members. A struggle ensues, two shots go off from the gun, one hitting a woman in the leg. The robbers now drop the gun, but flee with the ½ million dollar watch.
But of course, they was video surveillance footage along with witness statements,and five guys are believed to be involved in the robbery crew.
Now, two months later, the Rollin 30' robbers have been charged with one count of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. That's a pretty interesting charge… I never heard of that for a street stick up and I'm sure more state of California charges await them. If you rob special people, you're gonna get special punishment, rest assured.
The 3 robbers were identified as Malik Lamont Powell, 20; Khai McGhee, a.k.a. "Cameron Smith," 18; and Marquise Anthony Gardon, 30.
Law enforcement officials identified Powell and McGhee as two of the three robbers, and Gardon has been identified as a driver of the crew's getaway car, according to the affidavit.
Powell's car - a black BMW - allegedly was used to bring the crew to and from the robbery, and his cellphone allegedly was present near Il Pastaio at the time of the robbery. Powell's social media accounts allegedly contained images of various guns and high-value wristwatches.
