Jackson Heights, NY- Police investigating smash-and-grab robbery at jewelry store.

JACKSON HEIGHTS, Queens (WABC) — Police are investigating a smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry store in Queens.

It happened just before 6:30 p.m. Friday at the store on 34th Ave. and 74th Street in Jackson Heights.

Three men in black hoods were seen taking hammers to the front display windows and then grabbing everything inside without setting foot into the store itself. The owner says he watched it all unfold before his eyes.

“We are inside and they are outside. They break from outside. I just opened the door and after they run,” he said. The owner says this is the first robbery he has had since the place opened 20 years ago. There is no word on the value of the jewelry taken.
