Demarco Coney-Jones, 29, and Akayla Tuttle, 22, have both been extradited back to Maryland to face charges following a burglary when they allegedly made off with millions of dollars in jewelry from an Urbana home.
In August, deputies from the sheriff's office responded to a residential burglary, where suspects stole an estimated $3 million in jewelry from the home, according to investigators.
During the investigation, Coney-Jones and Tuttle were identified as the two suspects who traveled from Las Vegas to Frederick at the time of the incident.
Earlier this month, officials say that Coney-Jones was extradited from Las Vegas, while Tuttle was arrested and transported out of San Diego after investigators recovered most of the stolen jewelry.
Both were charged with first-degree burglary and theft of more than $100,000. They're being held at the Frederick County Adult Detention Center without bond.
“This case is a great example of the teamwork completed by Detective Stears, fellow detectives assigned to the Frederick County Sheriff Office's Criminal Investigations Section, and the FBI Baltimore, Las Vegas, and San Diego Field Offices,” Lt. Andy Crone said..
“They stayed on top of this case until the suspects were arrested, and the case was solved.”
