A shameless trio tried to rob an elderly man outside his Bronx home Sunday morning, running away with his security camera when their attempt failed, police said.
The 73-year-old man was walking to his Soundview home near Westchester and Metcalf Avenues around 4:20 a.m. when he was approached by the brazen crew, who demanded the elder’s money, the NYPD said.
When the victim refused to hand over his cash, the wannabe robbers followed him as he escaped to his nearby home, cops said.
After the elderly man made it inside and locked himself in, the trio started to bang on his door, police said.
When it became clear the 73-year-old wouldn’t open up, the three goons then ripped his Ring security camera off the exterior wall and disappeared into the wind, authorities added.
Pictures released by cops show the triad of vicenarians, which include an inked up woman wearing a white shirt, a tattooed man wearing a baseball cap and a man in a camouflage t-shirt.
