Police from the 105th Precinct are looking for three burglars who targeted a Glen Oaks home in broad daylight and made off with tens of thousands of dollars worth of stolen jewelry last month.
The trio scouted out a private residence near the intersection of 268th Street and 79th Avenue, and allegedly entered through an unlocked basement door at around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 19.
Once inside the cellar, the intruders went through the house and removed approximately $50,000 in jewelry before speeding off in a gray Nissan Pathfinder in an unknown direction, and they remain at large.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the three suspects in the jewelry heist and described one of them as having a light complexion, wearing a white t-shirt, tan shorts, black sneakers, and a blue baseball cap. The second suspect has a medium complexion and wore a blue bucket hat, black t-shirt, black shorts, and white and black sneakers. The third man is described as having a medium complexion who wore a black t-shirt, black shorts, black sneakers, and a black baseball cap.
