Smash-and-grab Bronx robbers steal $2.15 million in diamond jewellery

Published

Cops say the suspects broke in and grabbed the loot in 47-seconds 

Police in New York are seeking information about a group of masked men who quickly robbed a jewelry store in the Bronx of more than $2 million in jewelry.

The lightning-fast crime happened from start to finish in just 20 seconds.

The NYPD released video of the daring daytime robbery of Rocco’s Jewellery, located at 2521 Webster Ave. in Fordham Manor. 

Police said the incident started around 2:38 p.m., when the first perpetrator — a man in a white t-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and black sunglasses — approached the store and was buzzed inside by an employee.

That individual, cops said, then held the door open while three men wearing dark-colored clothing, masks and gloves rushed inside. 

As seen in the surveillance camera footage, the crew wasted no time in their brazen operation. One suspect took a mallet to the glass display cases, smashing them open so his colleagues can grab the jewelry contained within. 

The three masked robbers shoved the stolen, high-end loot into a red Doordash delivery bag—and within 20 seconds, they were out the door.

According to law enforcement, the store employee was not injured in caper.

Following an investigation, police determined that the bandits got away with $2.15 million in hot rocks and other jewelry items.

So far, no arrests have been made in the case, police reported.

Anyone with information regarding the heist can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). 

Tips can be submitted online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on Twitter @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

Industry analyst Mike Costello from Cox Automotive joins to discuss the latest developments in the EV space, and answers the big question: who was the dominate force at this year’s Munich Motor Show?

RBA plans to ban credit card surcharges in Australia

Reserve Bank of Australia plans to ban credit card surcharges despite banks warning of potential higher fees and weaker rewards

Reserve Bank of Australia plans to ban credit card surcharges despite banks warning of potential higher fees and weaker rewards.

In Short:
– The RBA plans to ban surcharges on debit and credit card transactions, supported by consumer group Choice.
– Major banks oppose the ban, warning it could lead to higher card fees and reduced rewards for credit card users.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) intends to implement a ban on surcharges associated with debit and credit card transactions. Consumer advocacy group Choice endorses this initiative, arguing that it is unjust for users of low-cost debit cards to incur similar fees as credit card holders.Banner

The major banks, however, are opposing this reform. They caution that the removal of surcharges could prompt customers to abandon credit cards due to diminished rewards.

A final decision by the RBA is anticipated by December 2025.
