Police are searching for a group of jewel thieves in the Bronx who got away with a fortune in jewelry and cash early last month.
On Monday, June 1 around 9:30 p.m., NYPD reports indicated that several unidentified individuals entered a Gold Cash pawn shop on East 188th Street in Fordham Heights.
An alarm system activated and alerted the store owner and employees of the intruders, causing four employees to respond to the alarm.
