man they say stole jewelry worth $54,000 after
tying up a woman who worked in a jewelry store in
one of New York City's most exclusive shopping
districts.
The man went into Margo Manhattan jewelry store
on Friday afternoon and asked a 53-year-old
female employee to show him some of the store's
wares, police said.
He then grabbed her by the
neck, forced her into a back room and tied her up.
He took her key and could be seen on surveillance
video footage emptying out a display case and
plucking a few other items from elsewhere in the
store before fleeing, police said.
The jewelry store is on a stretch of Madison Avenue
on Manhattan's Upper East Side that is studded with
high-end stores.
Margo Manhattan's website
includes several pictures of the singer Beyoncé
wearing the store's necklaces. The store did not immediately respond to request
for comment. The store employee was not injured
in the robbery, police said.
