NEW YORK CITY — Police in New York City are searching for thieves, one of whom posed as a UPS worker.
Police say two people, one pretending to be a UPS worker, forced their way into an apartment in the Bronx, forced the couple to bind themselves and their young grandchildren with zip ties, and then ransacked the apartment, WNBC reported.
Surveillance video posted on Facebook shows the person impersonating a UPS driver knocking on the door, and then shows both that person and an alleged accomplice leaving the scene with bags and boxes.
The pair are accused of stealing two iPhones, an iPad, personal documents, a piggy bank, and more than $7,500 in cash from a safe, WNYW reported.
Police in New York are offering a reward of up to $3,500 for information leading to the pair’s arrest and conviction.
