Valley Stream – A female employee at Kay Jewelers became the target of a frightening armed robbery at the Green Acres Mall last month. According to Nassau County police, two men from Brooklyn allegedly stole approximately $148,000 worth of jewelry in a brazen, late-evening heist.

Valley Stream – The incident occurred on September 18 around 8 p.m., just an hour before the mall was scheduled to close. Authorities reported that the two suspects, aged 28 and 40, entered the store and immediately approached the victim, requesting to view a necklace.
