Cops: Hip-hop producer robbed at gunpoint
Hip-hop producer Scott Storch was held up by two gunmen in Times Square yesterday, police said. The robbers took $5,000 in cash and more than $100,000 worth of jewelry, but no one was injured and no shots were fired, according to police.
Storch, 39, was standing with an unidentified companion around 7 a.m. when two armed men approached them.
Storch complied when the men ordered him to hand over his jewelry and a briefcase containing the $5,000, according to the NYPD. The robbers got into an SUV and drove off.
Storch's reps did not immediately return requests for comment. Storch, who rose to fame as a keyboard player for The Roots, now works as a producer with musicians such as Pink, Dr. Dre and Eminem.
