Surveillance clips have captured the moments when 4 thieves rob a jewelry store in New York City in broad daylight.
The New York Daily News reported that masked thieves stole jewelry worth more than two million dollars from a store in New York City.
The film started with a person opening the door of the store and standing there, apparently covering up the robbery, and then two robbers in black clothes and masks entered, and a third person entered.
One thief tried to break glass cases in the store with a hammer, and two others looted jewelry and put it in a large bag.
The crime happened at 14:30 on Friday and it took only 45 seconds for the robbers to escape.

Witnesses said the robbery was so planned, the hammer blows were so loud they thought they heard gunshots.
The US police offered a $3,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the thieves.
This is not the first crime of its kind to happen in broad daylight and target jewelry stores in New York.
On May 1 of last year, a thief broke into a jewelry store in this city, using a hammer, destroyed the glass of the store, stole a lot of precious metals, put them in his bag, and fled the place.
The next day, six robbers broke into a jewelry store in Brooklyn, using a sledgehammer and an ax to break the front window and steal more than $187,000 in gold jewelry.
The American police believe that this gang is 16 robberies from February 25.
