A trio of armed robbers bound two women with duct tape before fleeing with a cell phone, the NYPD said.

The three men went into a house near the intersection of Monterey Avenue and East 178th Street in the Tremont section of the Bronx around 1:45 p.m. on July 17, police said.

Inside, the gun-toting men bound two victims with duct tape and demanded cash, the NYPD said.

When the women told the men there wasn’t any money in the house, the men pocketed an Android cell phone, fled the home and hopped into a black Chevy Suburban with a license plate that may have been a Pennsylvania one, police said.

Police have asked anyone with tips to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
