Video Released Of Another Violent Jewelry Robbery In Inwood

INWOOD, NY — Another violent jewelry robbery took place in Inwood over the weekend, and the New York Police Department got the whole thing on tape.

On Sunday at 4:40 a.m., a group of hooded individuals ran up on a 31-year-old man who was standing outside of a car in front of 500 West 207th Street, the video released on Wednesday shows.

The robbers take out a gun — quickly bring the man to the ground — and rip off his watch and necklace, police said.

One of the hooded attackers then shoots off the gun, strikes the car that the man was standing in front of, but fails to hit anyone, police added.

The robbers then jump into a black Mercedes-Benz sedan and flee over the 207th Street Bridge into the Bronx.

No injuries were reported, police said.

Here's a video of the attack and robbery:

There are no arrests in the robbery and the investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

On Aug. 9, three people were arrested in connection to a different violent jewelry robbery in Inwood that led to the death of a 28-year-old neighborhood resident.

At the time, police also did not say if the three people arrested were responsible for the string of violent jewelry-related robberies that happened in Inwood during June and July.

On June 11, in the area of 565 West 207th Street, four people ran up on a 23-year-old man, grabbed him, and began attempting to remove his jewelry, according to police.

After the man resisted, one of the attackers fired a gun multiple times, hitting the 23-year-old in his chest, butt, and leg, police said. The group then ripped a watch off the man's hand and fled in a white Mercedes-Benz driven by a fifth individual, a police spokesperson told Patch.

The 23-year-old was taken to Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition.

Ten days later, Milton Grant, was sitting in a car with a friend at 175 Dyckman Street when a group of attackers rushed the car and shot him in the head. A surveillance video shows the man who shot Grant jumping into the car and taking his chain, watch and ring, while the Queens resident died in the driver's seat.

The other passenger was also shot and had his chain necklace stolen, but survived, police said.
