The NYPD released new video Friday showing two armed men pouncing as the woman enters her home near 249th Street and 147th Avenue in Rosedale on the night of Aug. 10.
The 32-year-old victim had just returned home from shopping and was opening the front door around 9 p.m. when the duo came up from behind and pulled a gun on her.
“Don’t yell, just open the door,” one of the men demanded as he held a gun to the victim, according to police.
Once inside the home, the men struck her in the face with the firearm and then tied her hands and feet together, police said.
The pair eventually located a safe and stole $19,000 in cash and $12,000 worth of jewelry, along with the victim’s Apple iPhone.
The woman was able to free herself as the thieves fled the scene, and she spotted them entering a white Toyota SUV.
The vehicle was last seen heading northbound on 249th Street.
The victim suffered minor pain and swelling to her face. Police said she refused medical attention.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
