Cops are close to cracking a $4 million jewelry robbery ring that targets patrons at ritzy Manhattan nightclubs and restaurants, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said Tuesday.

“We’re working with all five district attorneys and multiple federal agencies on a task force on this,” Shea said on Fox 5?s “Good Morning New York.”

“You can absolutely expect more arrests as we get closer to bringing this to a conclusion,” Shea said.

A 19-year-old member of one gang believed behind the robberies — known as OED, or “Own Every Dollar” — was busted early Monday following a confrontation with police outside Pergola, a Chelsea hotspot on W. 28th St. near Sixth Ave. in which cops fired at least three shots at an escaping BMW.

1. If they were really close

They wouldn't report in the newspaper that they are "really close"

This sort of articles are helpful. The cops have the reporters report stuff like this, in hopes of inducing the criminals to make a move that reveals themselves.
