Two heartless home invaders viciously attacked a 70-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man in a Flushing home, stealing several hundred dollars during the robbery, according to police.
The suspects forcibly entered the apartment on Sanford Avenue and College Point Boulevard in Flushing around 3 a.m. on Wednesday, authorities said.
Once inside, they assaulted both victims before taking $700 from the woman and $50 from the man, law enforcement officials reported.
Both individuals are believed to be unknown to the victims, and the exact connection between the two victims is unclear.
A video released by the NYPD captures the two suspects climbing an outdoor staircase leading to a second-floor landing.
One suspect is depicted with long dreadlocks, wearing a black T-shirt featuring the R & B girl group TLC, black sweatpants, and white Versace sneakers.
The other suspect is bald and dressed in a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants.
Anyone with information regarding this brazen robbery is urged to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or in Spanish at 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
