FBI, NYPD Hunt 2 Suspects In Brazen Fifth Avenue Cartier Jewelry Heist

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - The FBI and NYPD are asking for your help finding two men wanted in connection with a brazen, broad-daylight robbery at the Cartier store in midtown Manhattan.

The incident took place  at the Cartier store at Fifth Avenue and 52nd Street on Jan. 30.

Five men, some wearing masks, entered the store at around noon and used hammers to smash open a glass display case. They stole 16 watches worth more than $700,000 police said.

Police previously announced the arrest of Roberto Grant and Allen Williams. Sources told 1010 WINS' Carol D'Auria the two were allegedly found in the getaway car, each wearing one of the stolen watches. They face robbery charges.

Hardin is described as a black male, 6'2", approximately 200 pounds, and is 25 years old. He is known to frequent locations in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights and often goes by "Mazie" or "Mozie," authorities said.

Dehoyos is 38 or 39, black, 6'1", approximately 200 pounds and can occasionally be found in East New York, Springfield Gardens and Flushing, authorities said.

Both men are considered armed and dangerous.

Authorities said there is a "significant reward" available for information that leads to an arrest.
