Burqa-wearing man steals nearly $1 million in jewelry from Piaget in Hudson Yards | |
2020-02-25 | |
The bling bandit, a man dressed in a burqa covering most of his face, walked into the luxury Piaget jewelry store at around 3:55 p.m. and asked to look at a necklace, sources and police officials said. As the clerk pulled out the necklace, priced at about $21,000, he noticed the man was holding onto one of the store’s watches, according to sources. When the employee questioned the soon-to-be thief, he whipped out the spray bottle and squirted it in the clerk’s direction before running out of the store, with the necklace and two watches ‐ one priced at $64,000, and the other $715,000 ‐ in tow, police sources said. Piaget, where some watches are so expensive that the price is not even displayed online, valued the loss at around $800,600, sources added. The suspect could not be identified because the head covering ‐ typically worn by women in some Moslem cultures ‐ concealed most of his face, police sources said. | |

#1 Hudson Yards kind of deserves this one. You have multiple five and six figure pieces of swag in the shop and no security guards? Shame on them, and I'll bet their insurance company's going to say the same thing. |
