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

Published

on

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.

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
