The NYPD released images of two men suspected of a brazen jewelry theft at a ritzy Midtown hotel. At 1:50 a.m. on Saturday, February 16th, the suspects broke a jewelry display case inside the Four Seasons Hotel on East 57th Street. And the display case is right by the concierge desk!

The suspects then fled the hotel in an eastbound direction. Police say the first suspect is a black male, about 6' with short black hair, last seen wearing a tan colored trench coat (he was the one holding the hammer). The second suspect is a black male, about 6'2", last seen wearing gray pants and a blue jacket.

According to the Post, the suspects chatted up a hotel worker "while concealing a sledgehammer, sources said. When the coast was clear, one of the thugs smashed the glass and they scooped out the jewels. The pair then strolled untouched out the front door."

The jewelry in the case was by Jacob Arabo, also known as Jacob the Jeweler, who has blinged out hip-hop stars. The jewelry taken—"including wristwatches and a pendant and chain... was valued at $166,950" according to the NYPD—and Arabo told the Times that the hole was very small, so the thieves didn't take much. He added, "This is small-time, running into a hotel, smashing things with a hammer. Unfortunately, it happened to me. How come it was my window, when there were other windows with jewelry in the hotel?" Arabo then answered his own question, "“I think they would recognize my name more than anyone else’s, from the magazine."

The Four Seasons, which the Post said was trying to cover up the embarrassing theft, said, "We are cooperating fully with the police to aid in their investigation and have given the footage and screen shots from our security cameras to the detectives. The safety of our guests and employees are our top priority and our security team is working very closely with the authorities. If you have any questions, the Midtown North Police Precinct should be able to give you more information since it is a police matter." Other fancy hotels are reportedly beefing up their security.
