Men Go On Vehicle Robbery Spree In Kew Gardens, Flushing: NYPD

QUEENS — Six vehicles were robbed in Flushing, Kew Gardens, and other neighborhoods in the last two months during robberies orchestrated by three men, police said.

Police are looking for the three men that robbed a Mercedes Benz SUV in Flushing, a Jeep SUV in Kew Gardens, a Honda sedan in Willets Point, and three other vehicles across Queens between Feb. 19 and April 3, the NYPD said.

A 40-year-old man left his Mercedes Benz unattended in front of 132-03 Sanford Avenue, near College Point Boulevard, when two men exited a white vehicle with someone else behind the wheel and threatened the 40-year-old with a firearm on Feb. 19 about 5:40 a.m., cops said.

The robbers fled in the Mercedes Benz, and the vehicle was found later unoccupied, authorities said.

The men pulled off a similar robbery on March 14, but this time with a 25-year-old man’s Jeep SUV at Forest Park Drive East and Metropolitan Avenue in Kew Gardens about 6 a.m., and the vehicle was later found unoccupied, police said.

The robbers took four other cars between March 29 and April 2, the NYPD said.

The thieves took a 23-year-old woman’s Honda sedan at 125-00 Northern Boulevard, a 54-year-old man’s Chevrolet SUV at the intersection of 53 Avenue and Corona Avenue, a 29-year-old man’s Honda sedan at the intersection of 112 Street and 38 Avenue, and a 27-year-old man’s Audi sedan in front of 41-10 Fuller Place, cops said.

All four vehicles were found later unoccupied, authorities said.

The men attempted to rob a BMW sedan on April 3 about 2:50 a.m. in Laurelton, police said.

A 48-year-old woman was sitting in the parked vehicle near the intersection of 137 Road and 220 Street when the men came up to her and threatened her with a firearm, the NYPD said.

She refused their demands to hand over the car keys, and the men fled in a white vehicle, cops said.

Police released images of the robbers on Wednesday.
