Million-Dollar Robbery Hits the Pierre Hotel
Police say the New Year’s weekend heist at the Pierre exceeds 1 million in loot with official estimates suggesting the total could reach five times that amount. Detectives investigate what authorities call one of New York’s biggest robberies as the gang handcuffed 19 people and looted 47 safes after posing as guests. The case links to a suspected prior Miami Beach heist and a Park Avenue Drake Hotel caper, with clues pointing to inside information or long preplanning.
