A pair of ruthless scammers posing as Con Edison workers broke into a Brooklyn woman’s apartment, handcuffed and blindfolded her, and then stole her television and even what appeared to be her wheelchair.

Police are looking for two men who posed as scam workers and broke into a Brooklyn woman's apartment on Feb. 6.  They handcuffed and blindfolded the 58-year-old woman, then stole $300 worth of her belongings and fled.

Two men knocked on the door of a 58-year-old woman in Brownsville around 11:58 p.m. Feb. 6, claiming to be with Con Ed, police said Saturday. When the unsuspecting victim opened the door, one man pulled out a gun and the bastards rushed in.

The thieves then handcuffed and blindfolded the woman before ransacking her apartment and taking her property worth $300.

CCTV footage shows the thieves carrying away large bags of stolen goods. One man is seen pushing various objects into the hallway in a wheelchair taken from the apartment.

The victim was not hurt during the robbery.

The two men, aged between 30 and 40, of average build, were last seen wearing dark clothes. No arrests were made.
