NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS) -- A burglary crew stole more than $2.6 million in luxury watches and cash from a Staten Island watch store on Memorial Day, police said Thursday as they released images of the suspects.
The five men entered The Wrist Watcher on Arthur Kill Road in Tottenville around 10:30 p.m. Monday and worked together to remove a safe from the store, which specializes in buying and selling pricey watches like Rolex and Audemars Piguet.
The safe contained $2.5 million worth of watches and $160,000 in cash, according to police.
The burglary appeared to be well planned, with the thieves using burglary tools and dismantling the surveillance system, the Staten Island Advance reported.
No one was injured during the break-in, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
