VIDEO: Search On For Suspects In $6 Million Midtown Jewelry Heist


m[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

The search is on for three men who police say are wanted in connection with a multi-million dollar jewelry heist in Midtown.

It happened around 10 p.m. Saturday as thousands of officers watched over revelers packed into Times Square for New Year’s Eve.

Armed with a pry-bar and a sledge hammer, police said the trio broke into KGK Holdings jewelry wholesaler on West 36th Street.

Investigators said two of the men were seen attacking a safe before busting the security camera, which caught a close up of one unmasked robber, before they were joined by a third accomplice, CBS2 reported.

The suspects took jewelry valued at about $6 million from two safes and left through a sixth-floor stairwell, police said.

Police are investigating if this was an inside job carried out by someone who knew about the expensive merchandise and where they could find the safes. Police have not yet identified the suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or text tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
