GREENPOINT — "Where is the money?" home invaders demanded as they barged into an 85-year-old man's Brooklyn apartment, grabbing him by the neck, according to the NYPD.

The men ransacked the victim's apartment near Huron Street and Manhattan Avenue just before 2 p.m. on Nov. 29, but left without taking anything, according to the NYPD.

Police are now on the hunt for the trio captured in surveillance camera footage. One was last seen wearing a sweatshirt with the words "LIVE INSPIRED" and another had a jacked with the word "HEAT" on it.

Police did not know exactly why they waited three weeks to ask the public for help in the case, but suggested that I could be due to a delay to in getting the video.

Anyone with information can call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
