Cops name two suspects in $4M Diamond District heist
Two of the gun-toting bandits suspected of knocking over a Diamond District jewelry store in a brazen, broad-daylight heist have been identified, cops said Tuesday.
Jaysean Sutton, 39, and Pedro Davila, 27, are being hunted by police in connection with the $4 million robbery of Avianne & Co. Jewelers at 28 W. 47th St. on Aug. 26, the NYPD said.
The Post previously reported that cops had zeroed in on two of the potential thieves through facial-recognition technology.
Sutton has been known to hang out in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn’s 75th Precinct, which includes East New York, Cypress Hills and Starrett City, cops said.
Davila has previously been spotted in the 40th Precinct in the South Bronx, which includes the Mott Haven and Melrose neighborhoods, police officials said.
Surveillance video from inside the jewelry store — which caters to high-end clientele such as rappers Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj — captured the moment one of the suspects pulled his gun on store employees. The duo tied up workers and shoved jewelry into a duffel bag.
Sutton has six prior arrests, including three for criminal possession of a loaded firearm — the latest in February. Davila has six arrests, including three marijuana charges. All their other arrests are sealed.
