The police are looking for a man who smashed a display case in an Astoria jewelry store last week and took off with approximately $20,000 worth of merchandise.
The suspect entered K.A. Jewelry, located at 30-04 Broadway, at around 11:20 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 2 and walked up to the display window and smashed it. The man then took two trays of jewelry that contained about 50 items.
The man then fled on foot, eastbound on Broadway. No injuries were reported and no weapons were used.
Police released photos and video of the suspect taken from the crime scene.

yeah, right. jewelry stores usually store their valuables in a safe while they are closed for business for this reason alone. why didnt they secure their merchandise?
With christmas a little over three months away, things are only to get worse. Everyone had to spend christmas shopping money during the lockdown. It was christmas in june and august for many during the riots.
Hope is found and given the financial help he needs. So many people are desperate to eat and feed their families.

Has anyone noticed the number of crime related stories on Sunnyside Post has risen quite a bit compared to just a year or two ago?
The city is definitely going in the wrong direction.
@Charles-That’s because the Sunnyside Post has changed its focus to include more stories for Jackson Heights and Astoria. Sunnyside appears to be about the same. I checked the Sunnyside Post going back to one year.
Has anyone noticed the Trump Administration ripped off the NYFD of their 9/11 medical funds? https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-fdny-911-health-program-treasury-20200910-s7yam67j6vhmhbdzg6ordanfdm-story.html
