A 32-year-old woman and her female friend were tied up inside their Richmond Hill apartment and robbed by two gun-toting men, police say.
One of the victims was leaving the apartment, located within the vicinity of Myrtle Avenue and Hillside Avenue, at around 2:10 p.m. on Jan. 16, when two men approached her, display firearms, and forced her back inside her apartment, police say.

These 2 are so brazen. They’re walking in like they either live there or know the person! I hope they catch these sewer slime and put them in jail until social security kicks in and then, even longer.
