Fordham Manor: Home Invasion at Gunpoint

 

 

The New York City Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance identifying the individuals seen in the attached surveillance video and photos who are wanted for questioning in connection to a robbery (home invasion) that occurred in the 52nd precinct.

 

On Monday, April 19, 2021, at approximately 1.30 a.m., the group entered an apartment building in the vicinity of Bainbridge Avenue and 193rd Street in the Fordham Manor section of the Bronx. Upon entering the building, the individuals knocked on the door of an apartment, and when a 45-year-old male victim and a 34-year-old female victim answered the door, they forced their way inside.

                           

Once inside the apartment, the group tied the two victims’ hands with electrical tape, and one of the individuals displayed a firearm while another displayed a knife.

 

The 45-year-old man was slashed on the head and neck causing lacerations. The individuals then forcibly removed approximately $22,000 in cash, jewelry and cellphones before fleeing on foot, northbound on Bainbridge Avenue. The victims refused medical attention.

 

Video and photos of the individuals taken from the incident location are attached.

Anyone with information with regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
