NY Post
Two suspects were busted Wednesday in connection to the terrifying December home invasion in which a Staten Island mom of two was pistol-whipped and her 5-year-old daughter was concussed, police said.
Elliott Knight, who has more than 30 prior arrests, and Michael Conley, who has 17 previous busts on his rap sheet, were both picked up at their homes on a Supreme Court indictment and charged with burglary, cops said.
Knight and Conley, both 28, were part of an “amateurish” team of four who authorities previously said appeared to have targeted the Manor Heights home near Livingston Avenue and Queen Street around 12:45 a.m. Dec. 18 in a bid for money.
Home security camera footage of the harrowing heist showed the masked, hoodie-wearing men entering the residence after cops say they kicked in the door.
Three of them were seen brandishing handguns as they made their way through the home, which was occupied by the young girl, an autistic 4-year-old boy, their 33-year-old mother and a 54-year-old nanny, police said.
One of the men targeted the mother, hitting her in the head with a gun, authorities said.
