Armed Raider Orders Staff to Fill Shopping Bag with Jewelry
September 13, 21
(IDEX Online) - An armed robber walked into a New York jewelry store, fired a shot above the counter and ordered staff to fill his shopping bag with gems.
He fled with jewelry worth over $100,000, said police, in the raid on Prince Street Jewelers at City Point Mall in Downtown Brooklyn.
CCTV shows the hooded perpetrator - wearing dark glasses and a Covid mask - gesturing to employees to place items into his bag. He had a distinctive, square black backpack.
Nobody was injured in the raid, last Tuesday. At least two employees were in the store at the time. New York Police Department (NYPD) is still seeking the raider.
