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.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
