LOWER EAST SIDE — Three men stole $2,800 worth of cash and property from a 29-year-old after meeting him in a bar, police said.

The four men went back to the victim’s Delancey Street apartment at about 2:30 a.m. on June 3, then the suspects forced the victim to withdraw $1,000 from an ATM by telling him they had a gun, police said.

When they returned to the apartment a second time, the robbers also took a MacBook Air laptop worth $950, an iPhone 6 worth $750, credit cards and an additional $100 in cash before fleeing, according to the NYPD.

One of the suspects was about 29 years old, police said, while another had straight hair and two different eye colors. There was no description for the third suspect.
