NYPD releases video of $500,000 jewelry heist
A group of thieves used a sledgehammer to break into a Manhattan jewelry store last week before making up with half a million dollars worth of valuables.
The New York Police Department is asking the public for help finding a man who allegedly used a syringe to rob a Manhattan Home Depot.
The robbery occurred at approximately 3:22 p.m. ET on Sept. 22.
"The suspect placed merchandise in a backpack [and] pointed a syringe at an employee that confronted him," police said in a tweet.
The man is seen wearing a backpack, a Yankees hat, a gray hoodie, black sneakers and a yellow and orange safety vest.

In 2015, an employee at the same Home Depot shot and killed a supervisor and then himself, according to the New York Post.
The NYPD is offering a reward of up to $3,500.
