LOS ANGELES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"ATwo South American nationals, allegedly part of a “crime tourism” group, were charged Tuesday in a federal complaint for the armed robbery of a $1 million watch, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a search of the crew’s Airbnb, officers also discovered a handgun registered to the notorious former Los Angeles Police Officer Christopher Dorner, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamer Mauricio Sepulveda Salazar, 21, of Columbia, faces one count of robbery-related interference with commerce and one count of having a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sepulveda and Padron are in custody. They are both presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the complaint affidavit, on August 7, the victim was sitting with his wife and two daughters on the patio of a restaurant at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, when Suspect 1 allegedly approached and pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at the victim. <\/span><\/p>\n

Suspect 1 reportedly pulled back the slide of the handgun, chambering a round. <\/span><\/p>\n

While Suspect 1 held the victim at gunpoint, Suspect 2 allegedly approached and removed a silver Patek Philippe watch, which is estimated to be worth $1 million, from the victim’s wrist. <\/span><\/p>\n

Both suspects then fled the scene and eventually entered a blue Toyota Corolla, where Sepulveda allegedly served as the getaway driver.<\/span><\/p>\n

On August 10, law enforcement executed a search warrant at an Airbnb where the South American theft group had allegedly been staying. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Security camera footage showed the group leaving the night before. During the search, officers found a handgun in a bedroom that was registered to former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner, known for committing a series of murders before dying in a dramatic standoff in 2013. <\/span><\/p>\n

Later that day, law enforcement conducted a traffic stop on a Chevrolet Equinox and reportedly identified Sepulveda and Padron inside the vehicle. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Equinox was allegedly linked to another armed robbery in Beverly Hills on August 5, during which a $30,000 Rolex was stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not accept violent crime perpetrated by organized crime groups that exploit the freedoms of our country,\u201d said United States Attorney Martin Estrada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted on all counts, Sepulveda faces a statutory maximum sentence of life in federal prison, while Padron faces up to 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Homeland Security Investigations, the Beverly Hills Police Department, and the Blythe, California, Police Department are investigating this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jena A. MacCabe and Kevin J. Butler of the Violent and Organized Crime Section are prosecuting this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n
