Thieves Steal Jewels Worth USD |
Thieves Steal Jewels Worth USD 6 Million In Hollywood-Style Heist

In a Hollywood-style New Year's eve robbery, a trio of burglars broke into a Manhattan jewellery store whose owner was away in India and managed to flee with USD 6 million worth of precious gems.
Three hooded and masked men broke into the jewellery store on Sunday while 7,000 policemen were distracted protecting Times Square revelers just a few blocks away.
"They laid in wait until the ball dropped," a law-enforcement source told the New York Post of the heist which appears to be an inside job.
The source said the thieves "100 per cent" planned the heist to coincide with the ball drop.
They made off with around USD 6 million in gems and are still at large, police sources were quoted as saying.
The burglars were caught on video inside Gregg Ruth, a commercial jewelry store known for its rare yellow and pink diamonds.
