The victims are part of the International Gem and Jewelry Show.
"They're returning, sometimes, our calls, but there's no information," the jeweler said."I don't know if it's under investigation. I don't know. I can't do anything right now." The victims of the jewelry heist told CBSLA's Jeff Nguyen on Friday that the stolen jewelry was worth up to $150 million.
