NEW YORK — Police are searching for three strangers who robbed a 75-year-old Brooklyn woman at gunpoint after posing as utility workers to break into her home one morning last week, authorities say.
According to New York City police, the trio walked to the woman’s home near Beverley Road and East 54 Street around 8 a.m. Wednesday and identified themselves as utility workers. Each of the men wore construction vests or helmets.
Once inside, cops say one of the three men produced a gun and pointed it at the woman while the others took $4,000. Then the three of them fled.
No physical injuries were reported to the victim.
The NYPD released photos of the suspects (above). Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
