QUEENS — Police are looking for two suspects they said pushed their way into an apartment and robbed a 64-year-old victim at gunpoint in Queens last week, authorities said.
The robbers, described as between 40 and 50 years old, knocked on the victim’s doors on Tuesday, April 20 around 11:30 a.m., police said.
As soon as the woman — who lives in Rochdale, near 166th Place and 137th Avenue — opened the doors, the men pushed their way into her apartment, according to the NYPD.
One of the suspects then pulled out a gun, pointed it at the victim’s head and said: “Where is the money,” officials said.
The victim complied and gave them approximately $15,000, sources said.
The thieves then tied the victim's hands with a duct tape and fled the apartment.
The NYPD has released surveillance images of the suspects inside the building.
Authorities described one of suspects as 5-foot-10 and weighing about 150 to 190 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt, dark pants and black sneakers.
His accomplice, police said, is approximately 5-foot-11, weighing about 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, dark color pants, and black sneakers.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
