Surveillance video of the shocking incident, which took place in broad daylight at Rocco's Jewelry in the Fordham neighborhood of the Bronx, shows a man in a white shirt, black hat, and sunglasses being let into the store.

He holds the door, waves his hand, and props it open as three other men dressed in black, faces covered with masks, make their way in.

The first man stands watch at the entrance as one of his companions begins smashing glass cases with a hammer, while the other two begin scooping jewelry into bags.
