MANHATTAN - Cops are looking for a trio of female bandits who robbed two cabbies in Manhattan and the Bronx at gunpoint within a two-hour period.


The NYPD is searching for three women wearing some conspicuous outfits for robbers. One of the suspects is seen on subway surveillance video wearing furry slippers. Another is seen wearing work out gear. The final suspect is covered head to toe wearing hats, hoods, face masks and rubber gloves. 


The trio kicked off their two-hour robbery spree at around 1 am near Grand Central Station on November 20. Cops said the three women were passengers inside a taxi in Midtown.
