Authorities are looking for three masked suspects who somehow made a hole in the lobby of a commercial building on Lexington Avenue, got into a jewelry store and stole a horde of valuables before fleeing.
Police say the gloved men robbed the Torino Jewelers shortly after 1 a.m. Monday, Feb. 23. They stole jewelry from wall displays and glass counters in a heist captured on surveillance video.
Cameras show one of the suspects, wearing black gloves, pawing around a display case on the wall with a flashlight in his mouth, grabbing valuables and putting them in a bag. Another suspect, wearing a helmet flashlight, is seen lifting jewelry from the glass counters.
No injuries were reported in the robbery. It wasn't clear what tools the thieves used to make the hole in the lobby.
Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
