Beware ring and robber

By Dan Gesslein

BRONX, NEW YORK, JULY 17- Pelham Bay residents are on the look out for a ring and robber.

Police released surveillance video of a woman they say pushed her way in to a home near Middletown Road. At around 1:30 p.m. on June 3, the woman rang the doorbell to a residence on Ericson Avenue. When the resident opened the door the woman forced her way inside. Cops say the suspect acted as if she had a gun and tried to remove property. The victim fought to woman off and she fled empty handed.

Investigators say the woman is a 28-year-old black woman with a thin build.
