A robbery in New York’s Diamond District has the NYPD scrambling in search of the pair who robbed a jewelry store in the middle of the day on Tuesday.

The robbers fled with an undisclosed amount of jewelry and the police cordoned off the area for a number of hours as they investigated and searched for the thieves in the near by buildings.

The robbery happened around 2:30 p.m. on the eighth floor of a building on 47th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, according to NBC New York. One of the robbers, posing as a deliveryman, entered the store and pistol-whipped one of the store’s owners, demanded the safe be opened and filled a bag with its content. The other robber was a lookout on the hallway.

Police arrived with SWAT teams and closed off the street as they began searching for the culprits and interviewing witnesses. Although the police searched each floor of the building, they could not find the thieves.

According to CBS New York, the co-owner has been identified as 56-year-old Boris Mikhalyov. He had returned to the store when the robber hit him with his gun. He is expected to fully recover.

Police released two images via social media of the men believed to have conducted the robbery.

The one who entered the store is believed to be between 40 and 50 years old and is around 6 feet tall. “He was wearing a black cap, sunglasses, a goatee, a black long trench coat, a white button-down dress shirt with a dark tie, and a black shoulder bag with the letter K on it,” according to police via CBS New York.

The second man, who is believed to be between 30 to 40 years of age, was wearing a red baseball cap, black jeans, black hooded sweatshirt and black sneakers.

According to the New York Daily News, the men took around $2 million worth of jewelry and cash.

They are to be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is to contact the NYPD at 800-577-TIPS.
