Motorcycle-riding, gun-toting pair steals jewelry worth more than $25K in string of NYC heists: cops

A motorcycle-riding, gun-toting duo ripped off more than $25,000 in jewelry in a string of violent Bronx crimes last month, cops said. Footage released by the NYPD late Thursday shows the two masked suspects – who are accused of six robberies spanning from Oct.8 to 22  – hopping on a single motorcycle with green rims and speeding off. The pair first approached a 54-year-old man on Grand Concourse near Rockwood Street at about 2 p.m.
