New York's thieves are getting bolder.
After years without any violent crime in that mecca of hedge funds, midtown east, moments ago the NYC Scanner reported that there was an armed robbery in a jewelry store at 510 Madison where shots were fired (seemingly unaware that NYC is a gun free zone) and while 1 suspect was in custody two are still outstanding.

A quick google map check reveals that the "jewelry store" in question is likely the Tourneau store between 53rd and 54th which most financial professionals, not to mention tourists, in that part of Midtown have been to at least once.
It is unclear if the thieves were after a Rolex or Patek, or instead, an Apple Watch.
More as we get it.
