NYC home invaders in Amazon uniforms zip-tied woman, 89, held son at gunpoint for measly $24
Three intruders posing as Amazon workers entered a Bronx apartment, held a 70-year-old man at gunpoint and tied up his 89-year-old mother before stealing cash and personal items. The robbery highlights how delivery-worker disguises can be used to gain entry to homes.
The suspects rang the doorbell at about 11.15am on Tuesday, and the son opened the door believing they were his mother’s boyfriend. They took phones, a wallet, credit cards and $24, then fled on foot; both victims received treatment for minor injuries, and police said the suspects had not been caught by Wednesday.
