Four men are wanted in connection to multiple Clason Point apartment robberies, where they’re accused of stealing thousands of dollars in front of the homeowners.
According to the NYPD, the four suspects approached the homeowners at around 3 a.m. Wednesday at the corner of the St. Lawrence and Lacome avenues and impersonated officers. They forced their way into two apartments, took out a gun and stole over $50,000 worth of property.
Police say they first entered a 59-year-old woman's apartment and forced her to the floor then stole $18,000 of her property. They went into a second apartment, hit a 40-year-old man and forced two other victims into another room. There, they stole almost $35,000 of property, according to the NYPD.
The homeowners were listed in stable condition.
The suspects fled in a late model four-door SUV. Police described them as slim men wearing all black clothing.
