Police Impersonators Caught On Video In Bronx Home Invasion Robbery
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The NYPD is looking for two men they say impersonated police officers during a home invasion robbery in the Country Club section of the Bronx.
Newly released video shows the suspects wearing NYPD sweatshirts and realistic-looking badges.
Police said they pushed their way inside the home around 8 a.m. on Nov. 9 near Country Club and Polo Place.
Once inside, they allegedly tied up two people and made off with $100,000 worth of jewelry and $30,000 in cash.
Investigators are now looking at a Nov. 5 robbery in Morris Heights to see if the two incidents were connected.
