Home invaders beat a Bronx woman on Monday and then planted cocaine in one of her children’s toys, took a photo of it and threatened to dime her out to authorities if she called cops, police said. “You can’t make this stuff up,” a police source said.
The 27-year-old woman told cops she was home with her 4-year-old and 9-month-old children around 7 p.m. when she heard knocking on her door at 1230 Fulton Ave. and went to see who was there.
That’s when Jason Dickerson, 29, Fantausha Nelson, 29, and another person burst through the door, cops said.
The trio then started hitting the woman all over the body, while telling her the beating was in retaliation for calls she made to the city to report that one of them was living in an apartment illegally. Police were unable to say which social services agency was called.
Two of the robbers then placed the bag of drugs in one of her children’s toys and took a picture of it, saying they would report the stash to cops if she called 911, police said. They then stole her cell phone to be sure. The trio and a fourth person, who had been serving as lookout, then took off.
Cops arrived a short time later and arrested Dickerson and Nelson in the building.
Nelson was charged with robbery. Dickerson was charged with robbery and criminal possession of stolen property, police said.
