Callous home invaders choke, punch elderly victims in brazen NYC home invasion: cops

A callous pair of home invaders choked and punched a 70-year-old woman and 65-year-old man during a heist inside a Flushing home that netted them several hundred dollars this week, cops said. 

The duo broke the front door of the apartment at Sanford Avenue and College Point Boulevard in Flushing around 3 a.m. Wednesday, police said.

Once inside, they allegedly attacked both victims before stealing $700 from the woman and $50 from the man, cops said.

Both suspects appear to be strangers to the victims, police said. The exact relationship between the two victims is unclear. 

Video released by the NYPD shows the two suspects walking up an outdoor staircase leading to a second-floor landing.

One is shown with long dreadlocks, a black T-shirt depicting the R & B girl group TLC, black sweatpants and white Versace sneakers. 

The other is bald and wearing a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants. 

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