A Court Square couple was robbed at gunpoint during a home invasion by two men posing as delivery men last week, according to authorities.
Police from the 108th Precinct in Long Island City are looking for the duo who rang the doorbell of a residence in the vicinity of Crescent Street and 43rd Avenue just before 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 8. When the 22-year-old woman and the 25-year-old man opened the door, the perpetrators pushed their way in, displayed a firearm and duct taped both victim’s mouths, arms and legs, police said.
The fake delivery men then removed $70,000 worth of property, including a pricey Rolex watch and cash, according to the NYPD. The men then fled on foot in an unknown direction.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspects on Nov. 15 and described them as having light complexions and thin builds.
