NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A man was carjacked by two thieves who stole $120,000 in jewelry from his vehicle in the Bronx, police said Wednesday.
The NYPD released surveillance video that appears to show one of the crooks removing a bag from the car during the robbery last Tuesday night.
Police said a 27-year-old man was inside his vehicle on Walton Avenue, outside Joyce Kilmer Park in the Concourse section, when he was approached by the duo, who pulled a gun on him.
One of the robbers then forced the man out of the vehicle and drove off with it, police said.
The carjacker stopped the vehicle a short distance away, where he or she snatched a bag from the vehicle that contained $120,000 in jewelry, according to police.
