Police are searching for a pair of thieves who stole thousands of dollars worth of jewelry after breaking into several Flushing and surrounding area sites during one October day.

The two are believed to be behind five burglaries that took place on Oct. 9 during a seven-hour period.

The first break-in was at a home near Parsons Boulevard and 29th Road in Flushing at 1 p.m., where the two stole $500 worth of jewelry after getting in through an unsecured door.

The second break-in was at around 4 p.m. near Corporal Kennedy Street and 42nd Avenue in Bayside. While the two entered the site through an unsecured door, they made off with nothing, police day.

The third break in happened an hour later at around 5 p.m., where the two stole a whopping $4,000 worth of jewelry after getting into a home near 190th Street and Station Road in Auburndale through an unsecured window.

The duo then returned to the same Flushing and Auburndale areas where they had stolen jewelry just hours prior, but did not take any property in the two subsequent break-ins.

Police describe the suspects as male, both seen wearing hats, dark clothing, and masks covering their faces.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-8477, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
