The Smith Brothers

S1 E5: In the wee hours of the morning on April 6, 2003, four men drilled a hole through the wall of a vacant restaurant in San Francisco's Union Square district that would eventually gain them entry into Lang Estate Jewelers. They spent the night there and when the store?s employees arrived for work that morning they were greeted by the robbers. The four men terrorized the employees at gunpoint and then forced the store's manager to open the safe. They escaped with an estimated $6 million in jewels - the largest haul in San Francisco history. Among the four pulling off this successful heist were brothers Troy and Dino Smith. They were fairly well known to police, and were thought to be suspects in a slew of robberies during the '80s. When they stole, they stole everything. They never played it safe. They even robbed drug dealers. It was all good for a very long time. But their luck ran out shortly after the Lang job.
