Los Angeles (KNX) - Authorities are searching for a pair of suspects who they believe to be connected to a robbery in Downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, in which a person was robbed of diamonds.

According to Los Angeles Police Department, the incident occurred just before 12:40 p.m. when two men approached a person in the 600 block of Hill Street while armed with a taser.

It's unclear in what capacity the diamonds were taken, though police say that the person robbed was likely connected to some jewelry store in the area.
