Hammer-wielding man robs Brooklyn jewelry store

A thief used a hammer to hold up a Boerum Hill jewelry store Wednesday, ź§™where he fošŸŒŠrced workers into a back room before looting the place, cops said.

The man, who was wearing all black, entered the Erica Weiner store at 360 Atlantic Ave. in Boerum Hill around 2:30 p.m. and demanded that four employees and a customer go into the back. He then loź¦Æaded numerous pieces of jewelšŸ ry into his backpack before fleeing, cops said.

The value of thšŸ”“e jewelry ź¦he made off with was unknown, cops said.

The store advertises antique and handmadeā›¦ jewelry for prices that soar into the tšŸ¼ens of thousands of dollars.
