Hours later, they targeted Williamsburg stores: Gorjana on North 7th Street around 6:10 p.m., seizing roughly $7,000, and another Catbird location on North 6th Street, taking an additional $3,500.

Surveillance footage shows the women entering the stores together, two distracting employees with questions while the third removed jewelry from display cases.

A jewelry store owner near one of the Williamsburg incidents told News 12 she recognizes two of the suspects.

She said the women returned the following day with a man, attempting a similar grab, but left empty-handed thanks to vigilant staff.
