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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
