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.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
