NYPD releases footage of moments leading up to Bronx $1.3M jewelry heist

Police this week released surveillance footage revealing the moments leading up to a $1.3 million jewelry heist in the Bronx.

Four thieves broke into Gold Mine Jewelry on East Fordham Road near Walton Avenue in Fordham Heights around 3 a.m. Mar. 31 and managed to get away with the whopping dollar sum of jewels, police said.

The footage, released Tuesday, shows the men clad in dark clothing and face masks exit a Mercedes Benz and walk towards the store.

The group climbed a ladder in the alleyway of the building to gain access to the roof, police said.

The video clip then shows the men descending a staircase leading from the roof to the street-level store –– with flashlights, crowbars, and a duffel bag in hand.

An employee called the police the next morning after discovering the display cases and a safe was swiped clean.
