Cops are searching for a pair who were found behind a home early in the morning in the Bronx last month.
According to police, at 5 a.m. on July 6, two unknown men entered an apartment in a building near Balcom Avenue and Miles Avenue. After entering, the suspects took out firearms and demanded property from the two women aged 32 and 26 in the apartment.
The suspects took an iPhone, jewelry, handbags, wallets and two credit cards, with a total value of $1,000. The suspect fled the location, but later returned and demanded money from the victims. The scammers were unsuccessful and left the scene without any additional money. As a result of the incident, no injuries were reported.
Police released photos of the suspects taken from the scene and nearby surveillance footage. Both suspects are described as men in their 30s with slim builds. The first suspect, described as having a light complexion, 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, was last seen wearing a black face mask, a gray hooded sweatshirt, black and black sneakers. The second suspect, described as having a medium complexion, 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, was last seen wearing a white face mask, a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants red shorts and white sneakers.
