Sadly yet another armed robbery of Rolexes from AD
See this link. Very nice AD in New Jersey that sells a lot of top tier watch brands but is seems the creeps go for the Rolexes. They have a lot of jewelery there too besides the watch cases.
I have every confidence these bums will be caught. For once the surveillance cameras actually took great photos. Let justice be served. Thankfully no one got hurt. http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/hunt...mington_r.html |

Sad to hear, and it's happening all too frequently. Just glad no one was hurt.

i hope they catch the robbers. The first pic shows the face of the burglar i guess. The police might run a facial search in its database and find the criminal but nevertheless they should be caught at all costs

Penn crew that's been hitting a bunch of Jewelers... unfortunately impossible to stop unless you post heavily armed security inside and out side stores......Hope they get busted but most of that stuff has been fenced by now....

hmmm. In general, wondering if there are any [public viewable] serial numbers listed on the Internet. And, would there be a downside to such a list being made public. Perhaps I'll try a search for such a listing. just wondering

Rolexes are easier to convert to cash than any other expensive watch. Every low-life in the world would own one.

You would think armed guards would be present at any top-tier jeweler like this. When you can grab $50,000 worth of watches with one hand, you'd think they'd invest that into the salary of a big dude with a gun out front.

From my post above.
Seems, I had forgotten that some already exist. In General..... there are plenty on line sites with listings of stolen rolex serial numbers. Includes an archive on this forum as shown below. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=20906

So they wore hoodies and hardhats to conceal their identities, but failed to cover their faces.
Sounds like a gang of seasoned professionals.

I'm glad to read nobody got hurt, those criminals will probably (and hopefully) get caught but the fact that everybody is safe is the most important thing.

I was thinking the same thing. My guess is that they will be picked up promptly based on the surveillance photos... let's hope!

Agree 100% Grady, there's a reason these scumbags aren't preforming brain surgery! A gang yes, seasoned professionals, mmmm, maybe not! Hope they catch the pricks.

All an armed guard could do is begin a shootout that would endanger staff and customers.
Our local AD had a very similar robbery and installed a sally-port with a Deputy Sheriff controlling it. The video frame with the perp's face in clear view is helpful. That, plus a reward for info, kickstarts the best facial recognition system ever - tipsters in the general public will likely know this guy.

The way the poor economy is around the world, I can see this being enforced in AD's around the Globe.

Maybe we should let go of armed guards in these establishments because "ALL they can do is begin a shootout that would endanger staff and customers" if bad guys come. |

Not sure that's a good idea. That's when innocent people get caught up in the crossfire. At the end of the day it's just a bunch of watches. Not sure it would be good for business either. I know I'd take a wide berth if I saw armed security outside a jewellers.
