NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- A pair of phony FBI agents in a Porsche tased and tied up a couple at their Queens home and stole their Mercedes-Benz, along with $40,000 in cash and cryptocurrency, police said.

The NYPD released video Friday showing the two suspects they're after in last Sunday morning's robbery in Flushing.

A 25-year-old man and 31-year-old woman were returning to their home near Main Street and Elder Avenue at 7:30 a.m. when two men pulled up in a black Porsche Cayenne, police said.

The men falsely identified themselves as FBI agents and displayed firearms in their waistbands, according to cops.

They then tased and tied up both victims before stealing numerous valuables from their home, police said.
