A 31-year-old man trying to sell his bracelet at 5 Towns Jewelry Buyers at 589 Willow Ave. in Cedarhurst around 2:30 p.m. called the number listed for the store, but was told it was under renovation and to come instead to a Redwood Drive home.
Once the man arrived at the house, three men approached him. They grabbed him, dragged him into the house and struck him with a closed fist and baseball bat, causing minor injuries, police said.
The men also threatened him with a sledgehammer, placing the man in fear of his life, police said.

A short time later, officers arrested three men.
