The police enlist the help of the community to find the whereabouts of multiple vehicle thefts in Brooklyn and Queens with the same modus operandi.
At least four incidents occurred between 15 and 27 October.
In all cases, the attackers’ car collided lightly with a vehicle from behind.
When the driver of the crashed vehicle got out of the car to check, he was threatened by the criminals with a weapon and they fled in the two cars.
In some cases, the attackers beat the victims and one of them stole their mobile phones.
One of the victims required medical attention and was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.
