They stormed into a home and tied up two women. They left in victim’s Honda, cops say.

It wasn’t even dark out when the four masked men — all dressed in dark clothing — entered an unlocked Southwest Miami-Dade home.

Police say once inside, they tied up two women, ransacked their home, stole jewelry and about $600 in cash and then left in the victim’s Honda Accord.

On Friday, Miami-Dade police released surveillance video of the men in hopes of getting the community’s help in identifying them.

According to police, the armed home invasion robbery happened at about 7 p.m. June 5 in the area of 141st Avenue and Southwest 168 Street in Southwest Miami-Dade.

One of the men tied up one of the women inside with duct tape and “threatened to kill her with a knife if she screamed,” police said in a news release. Another man tied up the second woman and used duct tape to cover her mouth.

Meanwhile, the other two men ransacked the bedroom.

The men then left in the 2017 Honda Accord. Police say the women were not injured.

The video shows the group walking in the residential neighborhood and then it shows them getting into the car.

Police are looking for four men, one believed to be between 20 and 25 years old and three more believed to be between 17 and 20 years old.

Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).
