MANHATTAN — Two men robbed three jewelry stores in Midtown at gunpoint from September to December, police said.

The pair first hit the Jewelry Patch, at 601 7th Ave., on Sep. 19, police said. The men entered the store at about 2:30 p.m., took out a gun and demanded jewelry from the store.

The men left the store with multiple pieces of jewelry and fled, police said.

They then hit Kenjo Jewelry Store, at 40 W. 57th St., on Oct. 9 when they walked into the store at about 12:55 p.m., took out a gun and demanded employees fill bags with watches.

The workers complied and the suspects fled the store with an undetermined number of watches, police said.

The last robbery linked to the pair was on Wednesday, when the suspects stole jewelry and watches from Madison Jewelers, at 1385 Broadway, at gunpoint at about 5:20 p.m., police said.

Police described the first suspect as between 30 to 35 years old, with a stocky build and between 5-foot-7-inches and 5-foot-8-inches tall.

The second suspect is in his early to mid 30s, with a thin build and between 5-foot-5 and 5-foot-7, police said.
