‘The suspect and the security guard were coming down the stairs together, yelling and fighting in front of customers, it was a great scene.
“I thought someone was hurt, but no one seemed to be hurt.”
“When the police arrived, I saw weapons and I saw a man being tackled and handcuffed on the street. He was really scary. People are talking about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. I feel bad for Chris, but this is so much worse. This was intense,’ said the buyer.

Ceban says he is so aware of the rise in crime in big cities that he is leaving luxury at home.

Cheban is referring to the August 2020 robbery in New Jersey, where his $250,000 watch was stolen at gunpoint when he was with his mother. A suspect, Victor Rivera, was arrested months later in Miami.
Beverly Hills has been plagued by a series of crimes in the past year, including a robbery at Fendi and a shooting at Il Pastaio restaurant over an expensive watch.
