JAMAICA HILLS, Queens (PIX11) -- A Queens jewelry store owner tells PIX11 News he's fearful after both his home and business were targeted in two separate incidents in less than a year.
Police say $3.2 million in jewelry and cash were stolen when three burglars forced their way into a back door of his Jamaica Hills home and left with a safe.
Two of the three burglars were dressed as construction workers to pull off the daytime heist on Oct. 16.
Back in December of 2024, three men with sledgehammers snatched $800,000 worth of merchandise after breaking the glass windows of his jewelry store in Jackson Heights. At the time, the NYPD called it a "citywide pattern" and said those 3 sledgehammer suspects also tried to bust into a jewelry store in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
