Police are hoping the public can help identify three men wanted in connection to a robbery that occurred the day after Christmas in Manhattan.
According to the NYPD, at around 7 p.m. in Kips Bay on Thursday, three men pushed their way into a 33-year-old woman's apartment. They tied up the woman and her 14-year-old sister, and then took property and $460 before fleeing. WCBS 2 reports that the items were an XBox, iPhones and a leather coat.
Police released surveillance video of the suspects, as well as photos:
The apartment is in a building across from Bellevue Hospital, and a resident told WCBS 2 that the victims might have known the robbers, "Can’t get in unless you have a key or you know someone to buzz in. The security guard don’t open the door for nobody. They’re not allowed. I’m thinking this had to be somebody they knew."
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
