Sledgehammer-wielding NY crooks who jacked $1.7 million in Rolex watches, jewelry nabbed in NJ
Briefly

In a bold Westchester County jewelry heist, two men, Kevin Williams and Byron Wilson, armed with sledgehammers, stole $1.7 million in jewelry, including 70 Rolex watches. They executed the robbery at a Hartsdale shopping plaza while customers panicked. After the crime, authorities traced their movements through cellphone records, revealing Wilson's actions in Irvington, NJ, and Williams' visit to Manhattan's Diamond District. The duo, charged with federal conspiracy to commit robbery, faces severe penalties lasting up to 20 years in prison. Their capture comes amid further investigation into their post-heist activities, which included flaunting their stolen gains on social media.
The criminals, dressed all in black and carrying hammers, stormed a jewelry store... smashing display cases as shocked customers and workers cowered in fear.
Investigators tracked their cell phones afterward... Wilson returned to their shared home in Irvington, NJ - meanwhile, Williams took a trip to the Diamond District.
