Police in New York City are hunting for thieves who they say have been responsible for a pair of recent high-end jewelry heists in Manhattan, including one where a man leaving a restaurant was robbed of $4million worth of valuables.

According to the NYPD, at around 4.20am on August 14, a 47-year-old man and his 27-year-old companion had just walked out of the trendy TAO Downtown on 9th Avenue when they were accosted by a duo that got out of a Mercedes-Benz parked on the corner of West 30th Street and Broadway. 

As seen in surveillance video released on Thursday by the police, one of the occupants of the black Mercedes pulls a gun on the two men. The victims then remove and hand over various items of jewelry, which investigators said included chains, necklaces, rings, and a luxury Richard Mille watch, which was worn by the 47-year-old man.
