A “team of gypsies” posing as utility workers scammed their way into six Bronx apartments and robbed elderly people of thousands in cash and jewelry, authorities said yesterday.

Police have identified two suspects, John George and Steven Demetro, in the string of burglaries at homes in Throggs Neck and Edenwald between Sept. 15 and Jan. 12, cops said.

“These two individuals are part of a team of gypsies that target elderly homeowners with the ruse that there is a leak in the home,” a wanted poster for George and Demetro reads.

No arrests have been made, and no one was injured.
