Three Brooklyn residents faced an early morning nightmare Thursday after armed robbers came calling in a dramatic home invasion, authorities said.
Four men climbed through a window near the foyer of a home on the 1900 block of 80th Street in Bensonhurst, at around 4 a.m. on Sept. 12, according to police sources.
Once inside, cops said, the armed intruders used a handgun to pistol-whip a 34-year-old man across his head, causing a large laceration. Another assailant punched a 41-year-old man in the face, causing a cut to his cheek, law enforcement sources reported. Both male victims and a 19-year-old woman were zip-tied by the suspects, who then ransacked the house looking for valuables, police said.
Moments later, the violent crooks made off watches, pocketbooks, and $20,000 in cash, according to police. The perpetrators — who, authorities said, wore all-black clothing — fled inside a dark-colored vehicle. Anyone with information regarding the incident can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS .
