Cops are looking for a group of men who bound up and robbed a woman at gunpoint in her hotel room in Long Island City on Monday afternoon.
According to police, at 4:45 p.m. on Oct. 29, four unknown men knocked on the door of a hotel room of a Ramada Inn, located at 38-30 Crescent St., which was occupied by a 27-year-old woman. After knocking, the men forced their way inside and assaulted the woman.
The perpetrators proceeded to threaten the victim with a gun, then bound her with duct tape, law enforcement sources said. They then stole the victim’s debit card, driver’s license, cellphone and $100 in cash before fleeing the scene.
