New York police say robbers who took $100,000 in jewelry on Dec. 16 have apparently struck again.

Two suspects robbed King Jewelry in the Bronx last week, the New York Post reports.

They allegedly flashed guns and told a clerk to open the safe. When they were told the safe was empty, they left with $43 and another employee’s iPhone, according to the Post.

The crime occurred at about 10:15 a.m.

Police believe the culprits were the same individuals who robbed A & K Jewelry in Foxhurst in December.

In that incident, the criminals pistol-whipped an employee before leaving with tens of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry.

The worker suffered a cut and was treated at a local hospital.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
