Store owners like Ibrahim Saleem are taking extraordinary safety measures to protect their businesses from future incidents. The installation of bulletproof glass and immediate police alert systems are proving effective. Saleem's story underscores the ongoing struggle small business owners face against rising crime rates.

New York City is on high alert as law enforcement investigates two recent jewelry store robberies. The first incident occurred on a Friday in Jackson Heights, Queens, where thieves, armed with hammers, made off with a staggering $800,000 worth of jewelry from a local jeweler. This brazen robbery took place during broad daylight, showcasing the aggravating trend of thefts targeting jewelry stores in bustling neighborhoods. Just days later, a second theft attempt happened in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The cautious store owner, Ibrahim Saleem, had already taken preventative measures by installing bulletproof glass windows. When the robbers smashed the front window using hammers, they were met with resistance from an alert employee who quickly pressed a panic button. As a result, the thieves fled empty-handed despite their aggressive attempts. Saleem’s proactive approach to security highlights the importance of safeguarding small businesses against such violent trends. These incidents serve as a wake-up call for not only store owners but also the communities affected. Ibrahim Saleem, who has faced similar dangers in the past, emphasizes the need for education among youths, urging them towards constructive paths rather than criminal acts. The police believe that the same gang targeting these stores could be behind both crimes, prompting more vigilance and increased licensing checks across the city. Local authorities are determined to capture those responsible and restore peace to the streets of New York City.

1:39 Yea if I work hard I can be just like you. Nevermind the fact that you already come from a rich family. I expect these types of events to occur in high frequency. Bay ridge is supposed to be one of the quieter neighborhoods btw, let that sink in.
