115TH PRECINCT
Burglar hits Corona jewelry store: NYPD
CORONA — Detectives need the
public’s help in finding a burglar who
they say cleaned out a Corona jewelry
store, stealing a incredible bundle of
precious products.
Law enforcement sources said
the break-in occurred early on the
morning of Jan. 24 at Shlomi Jewelry,
located at 37-65 Junction Blvd.
Police sources said the unidentified
burglar cut a hole through the roof and
disabled security cameras and alarms.
He then spent hours taking inventory.
WABC-TV reported that the
crook made off with 90 percent of the
store’s inventory.
The bandit even took a box containing
$3,000 in cash designated for donations
to assist poor people in Israel.
Although it was reported that
more than a million dollars in loot
had been taken, police indicated that
the stolen jewelry had an estimated
value of $100,000.
Store owner Shlomi Sakal told
WABC-TV that the alarm company
overseeing security at the store
alerted police Jan. 24 at 6 a.m., but
when officers from the 115th Precinct
responded to the scene, they found
nothing out of the ordinary.
“Police came, say nothing is wrong,”
Sakal said to WABC-TV. “They look
through the gate. They say nothing
was inside the gate. They left.”
After cleaning out the store, law
enforcement sources said the suspect
apparently hailed a livery cab and
fled the scene. On Jan. 26, the NYPD
released video footage from inside the
taxi of the thief.
Cops described the perpetrator as a
Hispanic male between 30 and 40 years old
who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with information regarding
the burglary or the suspect’s whereabouts
can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS
(for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA), visit
nypdcrimestoppers.com, send a direct
message on Twitter to @NYPDTips or
a text message to 274637 (CRIMES), then
enter TIP577.
All calls and messages are kept
confidential.
