Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Michael J. Driscoll, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), and Keechant L. Sewell, the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department (“NYPD”), announced today the unsealing of two Complaints charging five defendants with the armed robberies of two Manhattan jewelry stores on the mornings of January 3, 2023, and May 20, 2023, in which approximately $2 million of jewelry was stolen at gunpoint.
The five defendants were arrested this morning in New York and New Jersey.
The men had cased out the joint the day before the theft, prosecutors said.
Then on May 20, DiPietro and Sellick — again donning construction clothes — held up an Elizabeth Street jewelry store. Sellick allegedly pointed a gun at the employees telling them to get on the ground while DiPietro gathered the jewelry, prosecutors claimed.
The men made their escape in a car driven by Sore, 25, of Florham Park, NJ — who was also dressed as a construction worker, prosecutors alleged.
