NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- Police released video footage of two armed men they are looking to identify for impersonating Con Edison employees and tying up victims during a violent robbery inside a Queens home late last month.
At approximately 11:15 a.m. on Monday, February 28, the suspects posed as Con Edison workers and approached a 41-year-old man at the entrance to the yard at his residence in the vicinity of 95th Avenue and 83rd Street in Ozone Park, officials said.
The suspects brandished handguns and forced their way into the victim's property, authorities said.
Once inside, the suspects rounded up two additional victims, a 62-year-old woman and a 74-year-old man who were inside the home, the NYPD said.
According to police, the suspects then struck the 41-year-old male victim with the handguns and restrained him with duct tape before taking $3,000 in cash from inside the home.
The suspects left the residence and fled southbound on Digby Place inside of a green sedan.
The suspects are described as male, dark complexions, who wore white masks, purple gloves, dark-colored clothing, and safety vests.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
