BRONX - Cops are looking for a robbery crew dressed in red who are accused of sticking up a Bronx deliveryman at gunpoint and stealing his scooter. 

Police released surveillance video of the suspects who are seen wearing various red outfits. 

At around 7 pm on June 14, a 30-year-old deliveryman drove his motorized scooter to an apartment building in the Highbridge section of the Bronx. When the deliveryman pulled up in front of 1375 Nelson Avenue, he was approached by four men - three of whom were dressed in red. 

Cops said one of the men pulled out a handgun and threatened the deliveryman. They forced the food service worker to hand over $100 in cash and to get off his motorized scooter, investigators said. 

Then one of the robbers mounted the dark colored stolen scooter and joined the rest of the crew as they fled southbound down Nelson Avenue, police said. 

The victim was not injured during the armed robbery. 

The first suspect is the only one who was not seen wearing red. He is a male with a dark complexion who is 5 foot 8 to 6 feet tall. He was last seen wearing a black hooded jacket, ripped jeans, and black and white sneakers. 

The second suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion who is 6 foot tall with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a red jacket with a white t-shirt underneath, blue jeans, and black and white sneakers. 

The third suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion who is 5 foot 8 with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and red shorts. 

The final suspect is described as a male with a light complexion who is 5 foot 8 with a heavy build. He was last seen wearing a surgical mask, white t-shirt, red sweatpants, and black and gray sneakers.
