Thieves Steal Fax Machine and $3 from 76-Year-Old Man, NYPD Says

BROOKLYN — Two men pushed their way into a 76-year-old man's Borough Park home and stole his fax machine and about $3 Friday night, police said.

The man had just opened the door to get into his home near 50th Street and 15th Avenue about 9:30 p.m. when the two thieves pushed their way in, NYPD officials said.

They forced him into a chair while demanding money and then searched his apartment, police said.

The pair, who can be seen in surveillance footage released by police Sunday, fled with the machine and cash, police said.

One suspect wore a white shirt, black baseball cap with dark pants, police said.

The other wore a black T-shirt, dark shorts and a dark bucket hat, police said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
