Two men who robbed and
raped a 34-year-old woman
and terrorized her family
during a home invasion
in Little Neck over the
weekend were still at large
as the TimesLedger went to
press Wednesday, according
to police.
Cops are looking for
the duo, as well as a third
individual who assisted them,
in the violent encounter that
took place at about 9:31 p.m. on
May 4 in the vicinity of 251st
Street and 57th Avenue.
According to law
enforcement sources, the
34-year-old woman was
leaving the residence when
the two men — one of whom
brandished a firearm —
approached and forced her
back into the home.
Security camera footage
that the NYPD released on
May 6 shows one armed
suspect chasing the victim
inside the house and two other
perpetrators walking in.
Seven other people were
in the residence when the
victim re-entered along
with the two home invaders,
sources familiar with the
investigation said. The seven
residents were forced to a
bedroom, where they were
detained as one of the robbers
took the victim upstairs and
searched for loot.
The victim provided the
robber with $1,000 in cash,
and then the suspect sexually
assaulted her, police said.
After the attack, he brought
the victim back downstairs
and removed another $800 in
cash from the woman’s 54-
year-old mother.
But that wasn’t enough
for the perpetrators, police
