BRONX, NY – Two armed robbers held up a customer inside a Soundview bodega in the Bronx and stole nearly $16,000 worth of jewelry and personal belongings, police said.

At around 10 p.m. on October 18, a 37-year-old man was inside a bodega at 1690 Gleason Avenue in the Soundview section of the Bronx when he was approached by two men. One of the suspects pulled out a gun while the other forcibly removed the victim's bracelet and cellphone.

During the armed robbery inside the Soundview convenience store, one round was fired from the gun. It is unclear how the weapon was discharged, but no one was injured.

The two suspects fled the scene on foot before getting into a blue Ford Fusion and driving westbound on Metcalf Avenue. Police said the stolen bracelet and cellphone were valued at a combined $15,900.

The NYPD released surveillance video of the Bronx bodega robbery, showing the suspects inside and outside the store.
