Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) officers are investigating an Aug. 7 armed robbery at TheBLVD restaurant at the Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons hotel.
According to BHPD Lt. Andrew Myers, two suspects approached a patron in the restaurant’s patio in the 9500 block of Wilshire Boulevard at approximately 6:41 p.m., when one suspect brandished a firearm and the other removed a watch from the victim’s hand.
After taking the watch, which the victim valued at $1 million, the suspects fled in an awaiting Toyota, and no injuries were reported, according to a statement from the BHPD.
Officers in the Real Time Watch Center are actively reviewing security footage and investigating the incident, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the BHPD at 310-550-4951.
“[The department] is committed to ensuring the safety and security of our community and will continue to take all necessary measures to address such incidents swiftly and effectively,” the statement indicated.
