A 24-year-old woman from Batavia is facing federal charges following an investigation into a robbery in Greece earlier this month where the suspects got off with more than $200,000 in cash, diamonds and luxury watches.
Jessica Jane Moscicki is charged with possession and brandishing of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, obstructing commerce by robbery and aiding and abetting a federal offense. She faces from seven years to life in prison, if convicted, under federal sentencing guidelines.
Also arrested was Clarence Lambert, 22, residence unknown. He is charged with obstructing commerce by robbery, and possessing and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
The duo is accused of going to a jeweler's location in Greece and using a firearm to steal more than $200,000 in cash, diamonds, and luxury watches.
The victims were allegedly pistol whipped and locked in a closet.
Moscicki was picked up by federal authorities following a period of police surveillance. She was pulled over while driving on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst.
According to investigators, Moscicki went the jeweler's place five days prior to the robbery and asked for a person unknown to the victim.
Lambert allegedly tried to sell a stolen Rolex watch at a pawn shop in Rochester on Oct. 14, and Moscicki was reportedly with him at the time.
Rochester Police responded to the pawn shop and attempted to apprehend Lambert, who allegedly fled on foot. He was located later hiding in a box in a garage on Frankfurt Street and was later identified by the jeweler as one of the alleged robbers.
When she left the pawn shop, Moscicki was reportedly driving the same vehicle she was in when stopped in Amherst.
Both Moscicki and Lambert are being held by federal authorities without bail.

Is the $200,000 figure
Is the $200,000 figure wholesale or retail?
I'm surprised the thieves
I'm surprised the thieves would not bother to correctly fence the stolen goods. Rochester Pawn Brokers is not where one takes this sort of merchandise. According to other news outlets, the victims were beaten and suffered significant injuries during the incident. Apparently a couple of additional perpetrators remain at large and/or are unknown. Fortunately the federal authorities appear to be taking the incident quite seriously. I anticipate further arrests.

Do you know of any jewelers who sell wholesale to the public?
I was just wondering since
I was just wondering since that category of retail typically has an absurd markup. Once it gets turned into the insurance company they stand to make quite a profit if they get retail value. I would gladly take a knock in the head to earn a large percentage of my annual income in one day.

Is that really true, Alvin? Or was that just an off-the-cuff remark with little thought behind it?
Just thinking, you might want to talk with Jason McNeil before you try it.
Who is that? Yes it is true.
Who is that? Yes it is true. Why not? Athletes get knocked around for their paycheck.
Alvin - Jason McNeil was the
Alvin - Jason McNeil was the young gentleman that just got a 'knock in the head' while leaving Darien Park. And I have to believe that his family would trade just about any amount of money to have him 'back' to the way he was before that fateful day.
I was referring to the pistol
I was referring to the pistol whipping in this article. Mr. McNeil wasn't making a profit from the situation. so they are not really relatable.
Well then, Alvin, I guess all
Well then, Alvin, I guess all I can say after your last two comments would be, "Apparently, some people are thick-headed enough that they don't believe a pistol upside their head might affect them."
I don't think Mr. McNeil's
I don't think Mr. McNeil's situation is the probable outcome from most knocks in the head.
