Soho Jewelry Store Robbed Of $600K At Gunpoint, Police Say

SOHO, NY — Two men who robbed a Soho jewelry store at gunpoint earlier this month are still on the loose, police said.

The NYPD is searching for the two armed men who robbed Sean's Diamond & Jewelry Inc. in Soho and then zip-tied three store employees before taking off with $600,000 worth of jewelry.

The men entered the shop, at 277 Canal St., at about 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 15, police said. They brandished guns at the three employees inside the shop and demanded that the store's safe be opened, according to the NYPD. Before taking off with $600,000 worth of jewelry, the robbers tied all three employees' wrists with zip-ties. None of the employees were injured during the armed robbery, police said.

Officers are still searching for both men, who are believed to be in their late 20s. They released photos of the men late on Friday evening. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)
