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.
