Police are searching for two women who robbed a 29-year-old man in Sunset Park, Brooklyn after telling him they were cops.

The suspects approached the victim near 53rd Street and Fourth Avenue a little after 1 a.m. on Jan. 8. They first demanded his property and offered him sex. After the victim declined and walked away, the women followed him and told him they were police officers. One of the suspects then pushed him to the ground, held her foot on his neck and removed money from his wallet.

The women fled in a black Jeep Cherokee. They are described as being Hispanic, approximately between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
