A Bayside woman was robbed during a home invasion by two masked men in the confines of the 111th Precinct on the night of Sunday, Aug. 3.

The victim was inside a residence at 204-20 46th Ave., just west of the Clearview Expressway, when two heavy-set men approached the door and pushed their way inside, shoving the victim into a closet while they removed personal property and an undetermined amount of cash, an NYPD spokesman said Tuesday. The victim remained in the closet until the suspects fled the scene in a silver sedan in an unknown direction.

There were no injuries reported, police said.

Police described the suspects as Hispanic men with heavy builds.

There have been no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.
