NYPD drones sprung into action this summer in Queens after a group of four men broke into a home and held its occupants hostage.
Forty-seven-year-old Jone Smith, 39-year-old Brandon Dash, and 37-year-old Ryan Dash allegedly held up the Flushing residence with firearms and hammers, punching a 71-year-old woman in the face and striking a 43-year-old man in the foot with a hammer around 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 16. The crooks attempted to steal $21,000 in cash from the family.
