Back in 2000, there was an Outfit jewelry theft ring that had pulled scores in several states, including Arizona.
I wonder if these guys had to deal with Schiro somehow (tribute or at least permission) since they were operating in his area?
Schiro was actually one of the 8 people indicted in the case. Another was William Handhart, a former Chicago police detective. They had pulled jewelry heist jobs in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, Arizona, and California that came to about $10 million.
