The New York City Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance identifying the individuals and vehicle seen in the attached video and photographs in connection with a robbery that occurred in the 49th Precinct.

 

It was reported to police that on Monday Feb. 15, at approximately 10.10 p.m., at a home in the vicinity of Barnes Avenue and Van Nest Avenue, close to Little Yemen, one of the suspects climbed to the second floor awning and forced open a window to gain entry into the home.

 

The individual then opened the front door for his four accomplices. Once inside, one of the men brandished a handgun and all five suspects confronted the two victims, a 46-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman, in their bedroom.

 

The individuals ransacked the couple’s bedroom and walked out of the home with approximately $120 in cash. The five suspects fled the scene northbound on Barnes Avenue inside a gray-colored, 4-door sedan.
