Two thieves stole nearly $30,000 worth of jewelry from a ritzy store in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards, police said.
The duo pulled off the heist when they walked into a jewelry store at 20 Hudson Yards around 5:44 p.m. on Feb. 5, cops said.
While one of the crooks chatted up a salesperson to distract them, the other took the chance to reach around, snatch swag priced at $29,550 and sneakily hide it in his jacket, police said.
The two then left without incident, cops said.
The crooks made off with a heap of fine jewelry, including a necklace, a baguette compass and a diamond moon, sources said.
Cops described the dastardly duo as males with light complexions. One was wearing a black knit hat, black jacket, dark jeans and gray sneakers. The other had on a brown hat, black jacket, blue shirt, dark blue pants and black shoes, police said.
