NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police are trying to track down three men responsible for an armed robbery in the Bronx.

When the victim, a 31-year-old man, opened the door, the three men allegedly came inside, zip-tied his hands and covered his eyes. Police say they also zip-tied the hands of a 30-year-old woman who was inside.
One of the men allegedly shot the 31-year-old man once in the back before the three men fled, getting away with about $20,000.
They were last seen in a white Mercedes Benz SUV.
The 31-year-old man was taken to a local hospital in stable condition. The woman suffered minor injuries.
Police say one of the men spray-painted cameras at the apartment building before the robbery.
