VIDEO: Armed Robbers Caught On Camera In Brazen Weekend Jewelry Heist In New York City

New York Police on Tuesday released surveillance video from a recent armed robbery, as the search continues to apprehend the robbers.

Police are looking for the three men who on Sunday posed as customers when they held up Avianne & Co., a jewelry store in Midtown Manhattan. The three men — two were dressed casually while the other was wearing a suit — initially inquired about products as if they were shopping before pulling out guns and ordering employees to the ground.

Four male employees were tied up with zip ties and duct tape while the robbers stuffed jewelry into their bags. The robbers are believed to have escaped with nearly $4 million in jewels.

Avianne & Co. serves as the primary or exclusive jeweler for a clientele list that includes Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj and several NBA players.

Surveillance cameras caught all three as they ordered around the staff and robbed the store. The NYPD has subsequently released a portion of the robbery on its official Twitter as they work to identify the three men.

After the robbery, one of the employees was seen walking into a nearby restaurant and was described as visibly shaken.

“He said they stole like $4 million worth of retail. He sat down to eat. He ate like really quick … You could tell like something bad really happened,” a bystander told CBS New York. “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.”

Police also have additional surveillance footage and pictures from nearby businesses of the suspected robbers. The NYPD is offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
