NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans police are searching for three men who robbed a 67-year-old woman in the 6200 block of Bellaire Drive in the Lakeview neighborhood.

The victim’s daughter who did not want to be identified said one of the men was dressed in a U.S. Postal Service uniform and was carrying a package under his arm.

“He rang the doorbell, she said ‘can I help you?’ through the door,” the daughter told WWL-TV. “She would not open the door. He said I have a package and she said leave the package, I’ll get it later. He said I can’t leave it; you have to sign for it.”

The daughter said her mother cracked her front door open just wide enough to sign for the package.

That’s when the fake mailman and two other men forced their way into her home and demanded money and jewelry.

“They put a gun to her head and manhandled her,” the daughter said. source
