Dajuhn Griffin, 26, pleaded guilty Friday in connection with his part in the November 2014 heist. 

According to court documents and statements made in court, Griffin and two accomplices, armed with hammers, entered Sidney Thomas Jewelers, in the Stamford Town Center Mall. Soon after, they used the hammers to smash open a jewelry display case and remove more than $250,000 worth of Rolex watches. The three then fled.

Griffin was arrested in Detroit in April. He pleaded guilty to one count of interfering with commerce by robbery, an offense that carries a maximum term of 20 years in prison. 

A sentencing date has not been scheduled. He has been released on a $10,000 bond and conditions requiring home confinement and electronic monitoring. 

Richard Matthew Bailey and Brian Moore, both from Detroit, previously pleaded guilty to the same charge.

Moore helped organize and carry out the robbery by soliciting others to participate. He also drove the men from Detroit to Stamford and picked them up after the robbery to return to Detroit. 

Bailey and Moore also have yet to be sentenced.
