Police are searching for three armed suspects who entered an East New York home and stole roughly $118,000 in jewelry during a Friday evening home invasion. A 31-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman answered a knock near Vandalia and Fountain avenues before the assailants, two men and a woman, forced entry and carried the victims to a bedroom. The suspects also took wallets, a purse and credit cards, raising the estimated total loss to about $122,000. The suspects fled southbound on Fountain Avenue toward Seaview Avenue and authorities provided clothing descriptions and a tip line.
"A 31-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman answered a knock at their door just before 9:30 p.m. Friday near Vandalia and Fountain avenues in response to a woman claiming to represent a cleaning agency. Instead, the pair was met by two men and a woman, all armed, who forced their way inside their home and to the bedroom, authorities say."
"The trio took $118,000 worth of jewelry, along with wallets, a purse and credit cards, bringing the total value to around $122,000. Police say they ran from the home, traveling southbound on Fountain Avenue toward Seaview Avenue. The woman was last seen wearing a black jacket, a white T-shirt, black pants, a black hat and black sneakers. One man was observed in a dark-colored jacket and hat, while the other wore a multicolored blue sweatshirt, dark-colored pants and black sneakers, according to authorities."
