Police say the suspects target patrons at gunpoint in restaurants throughout New York City, taking expensive jewelry and escaping on mopeds.
Police are looking for a pair of thieves they say are targeting patrons in restaurants throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. Police say the suspects have stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of designer watches and jewelry from customers across the city. In all the incidents, the robbers threatened customers with a gun while they were out to eat, stole their jewelry, and sped off on mopeds.
One of the men put the victim into a chokehold while the other pulled out a gun. On May 31, the thieves took two watches worth $35,000 and $5,000 from men in Williamsburg. In June, the group stole a watch valued at $100,000 from a man in Greenwich Village. A week later, the suspects went up to a group of men that were eating dinner in Willamsburg, took out a gun and stole an iPhone and headphones.
