Bronx detectives are looking for two men who robbed a man at gunpoint of $6,500 worth of jewelry during a private sale earlier this month.
On Oct. 11, a 24-year-old man arranged a meeting with someone for the sale of a cuban link chain he posted on Facebook, according to the NYPD. However, police said, upon arrival in the vicinity of Commonwealth Avenue and East 174 Street, two men approached the seller, brandished a gun and stole two of his chains, valued at $6,500.
