A vicious group of home invaders bound two women with tape and made off with more than $1 million in jewelry, clothes and bags in a brazen heist at a Queens home – as children slept inside, cops and sources said Wednesday.
A 53-year-old nanny had just put the kids to sleep and was taking out the trash outside the home on Mayfair Road near 116th Street just after 7:30 p.m. March 19 when she spotted five men getting out of a white sedan, sources said.
She rushed back into the house on the tree-lined Kew Gardens block – but it was too late, sources said.
The five brutes sprinted up behind her and barged into the home, where one of them pushed her to the ground and held her down, according to the sources.
They bound the nanny with tape, and did the same to another woman, 36, who was also inside the home, cops said.
Then they rummaged through the home, swooping up jewelry, handbags, bikinis and other clothes worth a whopping $1,105,000, cops and sources said.
The callous crew fled the home and hopped inside a white 2021 Toyota Rav-4 with a sixth man inside, police said. No one was injured in the attack.
They had not been arrested by Wednesday, as police released video of the crew running into the home and later leaving with their stash.
Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
