NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The NYPD is searching for four men who they say broke into a Queens home and stole more than $100,000 worth of jewelry and handbags last late month, police said Tuesday.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on September 28, two of the men went to the rear of a private residence located at 190th Street, near 73rd Avenue in Fresh Meadows where they broke the rear door to gain access, officials said.
Once inside, the suspects ransacked the 42-year-old female victim's bedroom and removed $800 cash as well as a large number of pieces of jewelry and women's bags, totaling more than $100,000 in value, according to police.
Authorities said both individuals worked in concert with two other individuals who acted as lookouts from the front of the location.
Police described one man who broke into the residence as wearing a gray shirt and carrying a red bag and the second as a man wearing a black shirt and wearing green pants.
The men who acted as lookouts are described as being approximately in their 30s, with light complexions, medium builds, dark hair, and both last seen wearing white shirts and gray shorts.
Officials released photos of all four suspects early Tuesday, obtained from the vicinity of the incident location.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
