Three suspects attempted to rob a 73-year-old man outside his Soundview, Bronx home early Sunday morning, the New York Police Department reported. The incident occurred near Westchester and Metcalf Avenues around 4:20 a.m.
The elderly man was walking toward his residence when he was approached by the group, who demanded his money. When the man refused, the suspects followed him as he retreated into his home and secured himself inside.
The trio then began banging on the man's door. When it became apparent he would not open it, the suspects removed a Ring security camera from the exterior wall and fled the scene. Police released images of the suspects, described as two men and a woman in their twenties. One suspect is a woman wearing a white shirt, another is a man with a baseball cap and tattoos, and the third is a man in a camouflage t-shirt.
Authorities are seeking information from the public regarding the incident. Tips can be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or via X (formerly Twitter) by sending a message to @NYPDTips.
