Police say charges are pending against 37-year-old Rondu Frisby, who was picked up on Monday. It wasn’t clear if he had a lawyer.
Police say one of the store’s co-owners was pistol whipped during the brazen midtown Manhattan heist Tuesday afternoon. They say one suspect entered the eighth-floor Watch Standard Jewelry store, pulled out a gun and grabbed jewelry while a second suspect waited in the hallway as lookout.
The co-owner was forced to empty the contents of a safe. About a half million in jewelry was taken.
Police say a 58-year-old man is also being sought.
These places have probably the highest security in the world, what was the guy thinking?
