NEW YORK (REUTERS) - New York City police are looking for two suspects who got away with more than US$300,000 (S$427,854) in high-end watches after robbing a jewellery store in Manhattan's Upper East Side.

The brazen robbery was carried out in broad daylight on Monday (Nov 21) morning.

Police say one of the men forced employees to the ground while the other grabbed watches worth tens of thousands of dollars each. They are asking the public for help to identify the suspects.
