AUBURNDALE, Queens (WABC) -- New video shows two men dressed as construction workers trying to break into a Queens home earlier this year.

When the suspects couldn't get in, they broke a first-floor window, which woke up a woman who was sleeping.

They ran away when she started screaming and took off in a gray Nissan Quest minivan. They didn't get away with anything from inside the home.

The individuals are described as males with slim builds, wearing construction-type attire, including reflective jackets (one green and one orange), boots, masks and hard hats.
