Crooks swipe $30K in jewelry from Hudson Yards luxe boutique
Cops are looking for two thieves who stole nearly $30,000 worth of jewelry from a posh boutique in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards, cops said Saturday.
On Feb. 5, the diamond-hunting duo entered the Monica Rich Kosann jewelry store in The Shops, inside 20 Hudson Yards, near W. 30th Street and 10th Avenue. One of the men approached a store employee to distract her. While he did this, his sidekick stole three pieces of jewelry, including two expensive necklaces – one a wand compass, the other a diamond moon. The thieves hid the sparkly ornaments as they fled the store.
No one was injured during the incident.
The total cost of the stolen jewelry was estimated at approximately $29,515, police said.
Police released surveillance photos of the suspects in hopes someone would recognize them. One of the men wore a black knit hat, black jacket, dark jeans and gray sneakers, while the other wore a brown hat, black jacket, blue shirt, dark blue pants and black shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will remain confidential.
