The NYPD is looking for three men who attempted to break into a home in Howard Beach this week.
On Monday, March 2, around 6 a.m., three men donned in masks and gloves got out of a black sedan and approached a private residence around 83rd Street and 159th Avenue, according to the NYPD. They tried to break into the home through the front door, back door and rear window but were unsuccessful in all three attempts, according to authorities.
