A manhunt for a threesome of armed robbers stretched into its second day on Monday after they brazenly held up a jewelry store in the middle of New York City's Diamond District and made off with high-end watches, gold rings, necklaces and other sparkly ornaments, but left behind shelves lined with
bottles of champagne, police said.
As of Monday afternoon, no arrests had been made, police said, for the store that portrays itself on its website as"leading celebrity jewelers" with clientele including rappers Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. The robbers, according to police, brandished firearms and forced four employees into a back room before tying them up with zip-ties and duct tape.
"He said, 'Thank God nobody was injured,'" Arih said about his friend."He said he's happy to be alive."
