Robbery in Manhattan jewelry store in broad daylight
It was broad daylight and around noon that day when three robbers disguising themselves as customers entered the jewelry store Avianne & Co Jewelers located on West 47th Street, Manhattan, New York.
They entered as customers and appeared like one. But they soon pulled out guns and pointed them at the four employees in the store. The trio then tied up the frightened employees and duct-taped them.
The thieves also forced the boss of the store to open the safe. It is believed that there were no more clients in the store at that hour. It is reported that the police officers spend most of Sunday looking for fingerprints and dusting them.
What does a witness say?
The reporters were unable to talk to the employees at the store. But they could speak to a man named Eli Arieh who was having his food at a nearby restaurant where one of the store employees came.
According to the man in the store, the employee was completely shaken and dazed. He revealed that his boss had to empty the safe for them. The man in the store Eli narrated what the victim told him.
“He said they stole like (US)$4 million worth of retail. He sat down to eat. But he ate like really quick… You could tell like something bad really happened,”
“He told us, ‘Yeah, we got robbed. It was crazy’. He said thank God nobody was injured. He said he was happy to be alive.”
