NEW YORK — Four men claiming to be police officers - including two with New York Police Department shirts - burst into an apartment, molested a woman and stole several valuables, Yonkers police said yesterday.
Detectives do not believe the intruders were really policemen, Lt. Diane Hessler said.
The men knocked at the apartment door early Saturday, and when a 33-year-old male tenant opened the door, they said they were policemen and ordered him to the floor, the police report said.
The men had badges and handguns and shouted “Where are the drugs?” as they ransacked the apartment. Two of the men entered a bedroom and sexually abused a 30-year-old woman, police said.
The men then left with a cell phone, a laptop computer, a diamond ring and a gold chain, police said.
No arrests had been made as of yesterday afternoon, Hessler said.
