NYC home invaders tie up, pistol-whip residents in heist of $20K, watches and handbags: cops

Three Brooklyn residents were tied up and beaten by a group of greedy robbers on Thursday, who stole their watches, handbags and $20,000 in cash, police said.

Authorities said four robbers broke the front window of a home near 20th Avenue and 78th Street in Bensonhurst around 4 a.m., tied up the three residents and took loot.


Four burglars broke into a Bensonhurst home and tied up the victim.

Police say a 34-year-old man was hit with a handgun and a 41-year-old man was punched multiple times in the face during the horrific incident.

The burglars, all wearing black clothing, tied up a 19-year-old woman as they raided the home, according to the NYPD.

Police say they then fled in a dark-colored vehicle.

Medical crews rushed the two male victims to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition.
