Four male suspects in a Brooklyn home invasion got away with $5,000 dollars, three credit cards, and three cell phones on Feb. 2. The suspects tied up the four residents after breaking into their home, even striking one victim with a gun, resulting in a minor injury.
The police released a report of the incident, including video, requesting help from the public in identifying the four males suspects. According to the report, two suspects first broke into the home by pushing in a window-mounted air conditioner, shortly after midnight.
Four people, two males and two females, were tied up by the armed suspects inside the home. After tying the victims, the suspects opened the front door of the apartment for their two partners waiting outside.
Cash, Cards, and Cell Phones
The thieves demanded money and property. Somewhere during the robbery, one of the suspects struck a 28-year-old victim with his handgun, resulting in a minor injury. He was the only injured victim and was treated by Emergency Medical Services at the scene.
Along with the 28-year-old male, the three other victims included a female, 56; a male, 18; and another female, 18.
Only three of the suspects were recorded by the surveillance cameras.
