The subjects were described as two black males. One subject weighs approximately 170 lbs. He is dark-skinned and has a goatee. The second subject is approximately 210 lbs. He is dark-skinned and heavy set. Both men were last seen wearing hats. If you have any information regarding these subjects, please call the Jewelers’ Security Alliance at 212-687-0328.
