$3 Million in Jewelry Stolen From Home in Urbana; Suspects Arrested

Per the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office: On Aug. 18, 2023, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) deputies responded to a call for service of a residential burglary in the Urbana area of Frederick County, Maryland. FCSO detectives discovered that, during the burglary, suspects stole approximately $3 million in jewelry from the victim’s home.

Through a thorough investigation, FCSO Detective Josh Stears and members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Baltimore were able to identify two suspects who reside in Las Vegas and had traveled to Frederick during the time of the burglary.

On Aug. 28, 2023, FCSO detectives and FBI special agents executed a search and seizure warrant at the suspects place of residence and located most of the victims stolen property along with illegal firearms and U.S. currency.

On Sept. 1, 2023, detectives extradited Demarco Coney-Jones, age 29, from Las Vegas, and on Sept. 22, 2023, detectives extradited Akayla Tuttle, age 22, from San Diego.

Detectives charged Coney-Jones and Tuttle with 1st-degree burglary and theft more than $100,000. Both suspects are at the Frederick County Adult Detention Center, held without bond.

“This case is a great example of the teamwork completed by Detective Stears, fellow detectives assigned to the FCSO Criminal Investigations Section, and the FBI Baltimore, Las Vegas, and San Diego Field Offices,” said Lt. Andy Crone, FCSO Criminal Investigations Section commander. “They stayed on top of this case until the suspects were arrested, and the case was solved.”
