Police in Queens need help identifying the men they say robbed a jewelry store last month.

Authorities say in December, the trio approached the Elegance Jewelry Store on Junction Boulevard in the Corona section of Queens.

Police say one man remained outside as a lookout, while the other two suspects, who police say were wearing masks, allegedly entered the store and threatened employees with a gun.

They forced workers to the back of the store, smashing display counters and fleeing with about $80,000 in jewelry, according to police.

All the suspects are said to be between 25 and 30 years old.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
