The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying and locating the people seen in the attached photos who department officials say are sought in connection with a house robbery that occurred in Fordham Heights.

Police said it was reported to them that on Monday, March 13, at around 6.48 a.m., a 32-year-old woman was inside her residence when two unidentified people entered her home, located near the vicinity of East 182nd Street and Grand Concourse.

“The male individual displayed a knife and demanded money from the victim,” an NYPD spokesperson said. “The unknown female then removed approximately $300, a debit card, and other identification documents from the victim’s purse. The individuals fled the location on foot in an unknown direction.”

Police said the victim wasn’t physically hurt as a result of the incident.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, on Twitter @NYPDTips.
