NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - The NYPD wants your help finding three men they say stole $100,000 from a Bronx home.
Police say it happened on June 7 at 8:20 a.m.
That's when a suspect knocked on the door of the home, located near East 177th Street and the Cross Bronx Expressway, acting as though he had a delivery, police say.
Police say one of two victims, a 62-year-old man, opened the door, and the suspect forced his way in, pulling out a gun. The gunman took the man into a back room, where another victim, a 61-year-old woman, was located. The gunman then tied up the man and held both of them at gunpoint while two other suspects searched the home, police said. They stole $100,000 in cash, police say, and drove off in a white SUV on the Cross Bronx Expressway Service Road.
