This is the horrific moment a stripper’s home is robbed at gunpoint by two masked assailants who observed her affluent lifestyle on social media and placed tracking devices on her vehicle.
The suspects tied the dancer’s husband with a zip tie and put a gun at their two children as they broke into her residence while she was in the Dominican Republic.
Romel Catoe, 32, and Mathew Sanchez, 29, stole large amounts of cash during an audacious attack in Queens, New York.
When the stripper returned nine days later, they returned for a second robbery and tied them both up in the bathroom while they plundered through the residence before one of her children called 911.
But one of the criminals left behind a phone, which police used to track down and arrest the despicable thieves.
The pair stole $79,000 in mainly singles and $100,000 in Hermes and Christian Dior bags. The money belonged to the dancer and another acquaintance of hers.
Yesterday, police released footage depicting one of the intruders brandishing a gun at the husband of one of the dancers after entering into her residence. (below)
The guys were charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery, conspiracy to launder money, and conspiracy to accept stolen property.
Between the two robberies, according to prosecutors, the men exchanged thousands of smaller dollars for larger bills at a bank in Philadelphia.
