Sneaky thieves trick 93-year-old NYC woman into handing over $3K in jewelry to 'test' it - New York Post

A 93-year-old Brooklyn woman was robbed of $3,000 worth of jewelry by a pair of devious crooks who tricked her into handing over the valuables to “test it,” police said.

The NYPD on Tuesday released surveillance photos showing the suspected bandits wanted for the brazen July 17 heist.

At around 11:20 a.m. that day, police said two men approached the elderly victim in front of her home near Glen Street and Euclid Avenue in Cypress Hills.

“The individuals asked the victim to hand over $3,000 dollars worth of jewelry to test it and walked away with the jewelry,” according to officials.

The heartless duo then escaped on foot with their loot.

It was not immediately clear why the nonagenarian agreed to give the strangers her baubles.
