A woman disguised as a cleaner allegedly helped pull off a $122,000 heist with two other suspects during an armed home invasion in New York City.
The NYPD said the woman knocked on the door to an apartment and pretended to be with a cleaning agency before the three drew guns on the man who answered.
It happened last Friday at a building near Vandalia Avenue and Fountain Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn, according to police.
The armed suspects forced their way inside the unit and went to the bedroom, where they took jewelry worth an estimated $118,000, credit cards, wallets and a purse, police said.
