Two gunmen wearing black ski masks forced their way into the Tiffany & Co. store in midtown Manhattan while it was closed early in the morning and made off with $1.25 million in jewelry, police said. The robbers took one hour to overpower guards, pick out jeweled watches, bracelets and rings, and take security videotapes before leaving, said police Capt. Sal Blando. “They were very, very professional,” Blando said at a news conference. Detectives were questioning the guards and other employees.
