SEE IT: Thieves Break Into Jewelry Store In Brooklyn
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police are searching for two burglary suspects behind a jewelry heist in Brooklyn.
The duo was caught on camera early Wednesday morning sliding under a security gate and forcing their way into BHSL Jewelry and Diamonds on Liberty Avenue in Cypress Hills.
Once inside, police said they stole approximately 100 pieces of jewelry valued at $7,000.
Police described one suspect as a dark-skinned male with an afro, last seen wearing a hooded sweater. The other was last seen wearing a hooded sweater with a mask over his face and gloves.
Investigators told CBS2's Jenna DeAngelis they do not believe this burglary is connected to another jewelry heist this week in Chinatown.
