NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Men ambushed a woman at the front door of her Queens home before pistol-whipping and tying her up in a home invasion robbery that netted the crooks over $30,000 in cash and jewelry, police said.
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.
