Samuels had $180,000 (Â£135,300) in cash and jewellery stolen from him in April, 2018, when he was targetted as he was getting out of his car near his home in New Jersey.

Police made two arrests the day after Samuels reported the crime, and now prosecutors have filed a seven-count indictment against Shawn Harewood, Tacuma Ashman, and Carl Harry.
