Suspect Arrested in NYC Jewelry Store Robbery A suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with a midday jewelry store robbery in New York City's Diamond District. Rondu Frisby was charged early Tuesday with robbery and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Police say the 37-year-old was an acquaintance of the owner. It wasn't clear if he had a lawyer. One of the store's co-owners was pistol whipped during the brazen midtown Manhattan heist last Tuesday as the Veterans Day Parade marched nearby. Police say one suspect entered the eighth-floor Watch Standard Jewelry store, pulled out a gun and grabbed jewelry while a second suspect waited in the hallway as lookout. The co-owner was forced to empty the contents of a safe. About a half million dollars in jewelry was taken. The second suspect was still being sought.
