Police are looking for two men they say robbed a Bronx apartment on Saturday while armed and after tying four people up inside the home.

On Jan. 30 at about 10 a.m. the suspects — who were armed with guns — knocked on the door of an apartment in a building on Beck Street and claimed to be exterminators, authorities said.

When a 34-year-old woman answered the door, the two men pushed their way into the apartment and tied her up, along with three other people who were inside, according to police.

The suspects then searched the apartment while asking where there was money. After finding no money, the men fled the apartment with an iPhone.

Police have released surveillance photos of the two men.
