BROWNSVILLE — Police are looking for two men caught on camera hauling electronics from the apartment of a man they tied up and robbed in Brooklyn last month.

Investigators say the pair came up to the 35-year-old victim as he was going into his building near East New York Avenue and Union Street on the border of Crown Heights and Brownsville roughly 5:15 a.m. on Sunday, July 26. The men threatened the victim with a gun, pushed him in the apartment and tied his hands and feet.

The suspects made off with jewelry, cash and a pile of electronics, which they hauled away in a white sheet, as seen in surveillance video released by the NYPD on Thursday. In it, the pair can be seen struggling to carry the large bundle down the sidewalk between them.

At the time of the robbery, both men wore black hooded jackets, dark pants and gray baseball caps. One of the suspects was wearing a red backpack.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
