85-Year-Old Plays Dead As Thieves Steal Thousands Of Dollars Meant For Ill Wife


Story out of New York City, New York:

A Brooklyn man played dead after masked men barged into his home and robbed him.

Around 2 p.m. Tuesday, 85-year-old Pablo Roldan was napping inside his Huron Street home in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, when he awoke to a knock on the door.

“They push in, and choke me out,” he told Bauman.

Three men dressed in black with hoods covering their faces pushing him into the apartment, demanding money, he said.

“‘Where is the money?’ ‘What money? I got no money. I got some money, but it’s in the bank,'” he reenacted.

But he did have money — $36,000 hidden in a closet that he feared they would find.

One man held him down on the couch while the other two ransacked the apartment, he said.

To save himself, Roldan played dead as the men tore through his home looking for cash.

Eventually, the masked thieves found his cash in a back bedroom, where his sick wife was asleep. The money was for her medical bills.

How much they made off with is still unclear. Investigators said some of the cash was left behind, but thousands were missing. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
