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.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
