The NYPD released images of the three suspects Thursday, as well as video that shows them at a Midtown subway station.

Police said the trio entered a jewelry store on W. 47th Street, just off Sixth Avenue, around 3 p.m. on April 7.

The man and one of the women acted as lookouts as the second woman stole the jewels, police said.

When a 33-year-old employee stepped into the backroom, the woman went behind the counter, removed 112 white and yellow diamond rings and placed them into a bag, according to police.

The rings have a combined value of $450,000, police said.

After stealing the rings, the suspects fled to the 47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center subway station and hopped on a southbound F train, according to police.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
