Two people last Friday robbed jewelry worth one million two hundred thousand dollars from a Jew living in the Borough Park neighborhood of New York, while sitting in his car at noon, on a street full of people.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, a man was sitting in his car at 47th Street in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood.
In a document distributed after the incident by the Hashomerim organization, an ultra-Orthodox organization that aims to prevent violence and harm to Jews, two people are suddenly seen approaching the vehicle and attacking it.
These 2 perpetrators are #Wanted by @ NYPD66Pct for a gun-point robbery on 47th Street and 15th Avenue - they took off with a large amount of jewelry from the victim.

The robbery itself lasted only 30 seconds.
At gunpoint, the robbers forced the man to open his trunk, and after picking up a number of bags that were in the area, containing jewelry and gems belonging to a local jewelry store, they fled the scene.
New York City police and guards have launched a manhunt for the two robbers, who according to testimony were of Hispanic descent in their 30s, but to no avail.
Police said the two fled the scene in a Ford car with a New Jersey state license plate affixed to it.
It is not clear how they knew about the jewelry at the immense value that was in the vehicles.
