Man taped up and robbed of $30,000 at knifepoint by men posing as repairmen

A Bronx man was robbed at knifepoint by two men posing as repairmen who bound his hands with

duct tape

in a

home invasion

, as reported by the

New York Post

. The incident occurred on September 20 at around 1.pm in

Mott Haven

, where the victim, a 43-year-old man, had let the duo into his apartment after they claimed to be dispatched to fix a leak.
Once inside, the situation turned violent.

One of the men held a knife to the victim's throat while the other restrained him with duct tape, leaving him helpless. The assailants then used a crowbar to break into another room, where they made off with a safe containing $30,000, an iPad, and the victim's passport.
Following the robbery, the suspects fled on foot and remain at large as of Monday. Authorities have since released

surveillance images

showing the pair inside the building, engaged in phone conversations, and walking along the sidewalk, as they continue their investigation into the incident.
