The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying the woman in this video, released by police yesterday, who’s shown browsing the display cases at a Coney Island Avenue jewelry store and holding open a locked door for the two men who robbed the shop at gunpoint and made off with a quarter of a million dollars in merchandise earlier this month. Police said she is wanted for questioning.

According to police, two masked men entered Farrah Gold & Diamond at 1064 Coney Island Avenue at about 1:20pm on Wednesday, December 3. During the robbery, one man displayed a handgun while the other used a hammer to break a glass display case and grab the contents, which were valued at about $250,000. A video of the two men can be seen below:
