Two gang members were each sentenced to 12 years behind bars in connection to an armed robbery at Il Pastaio, an upscale Beverly Hills restaurant, that netted the suspects a $500,000 Richard Mille watch.
The robbery occurred around 2:10 p.m. March 4, 2021, at Il Pastaio, a celebrity hangout on North Canon Drive. Responding officers found a woman who had been wounded by gunfire.
The victim, who was not the intended target, was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. During the robbery, a restaurant patron was held at gunpoint while he was robbed of his Richard Mille wristwatch, worth about $500,000. A struggle for the gun ensued, during which two rounds were discharged from the firearm, striking the woman in a leg. The handgun was dropped during the struggle and the robbers fled the scene with the victim's watch.
Prosecutors said Powell's car -- a black BMW -- was used to bring the crew to and from the robbery, and his cell phone was tracked near Il Pastaio at the time of the robbery. Powell's social media accounts also contained images of various guns and high-value wristwatches, authorities said.
