A 67-year-old man was robbed of nearly $1.2 million in jewelry in the Borough Park area of Brooklyn.
The man, a jewelry dealer, was in a car near Molly’s Jewelers when two men approached, the Daily Mail reports.
Neighborhood watch group Boro Park Shomrim released security footage if the incident. See the group’s tweet below.
The Daily Mail reports that the culprits were seen to reach inside the automobile “before ripping open the driver side door and threatening the elderly jewelry dealer with a gun, forcing him to open his trunk.”
They made off with two bags of jewelry. They ran away, then fled in a black Ford Taurus, police said.
It’s unknown whether the victim worked at Molly’s Jewelers. He told authorities the stolen jewelry was the property of a Manhattan store.
