Nearly $1 million in pricey jewels stolen from vendor’s car in NYC

A trio of thieves snatched a duffle bag filled with nearly $1 million worth of high-end jewelry out of a merchant’s unlocked car in Manhattan, police say. 

The jewelry was stolen outside Metropolitan Pavilion on West 19th Street in Chelsea at 7 p.m. June 19 after the 60-year-old merchant loaded the valuables into her vehicle. “She’s coming from a show where she had these items out and then left them in her car unlocked,” a police source said. “She went back to load more items.”
