Attempted Bath Beach carjacking has cops linking incident to two prior crimes
The duo police are looking for in connection with a mid-January robbery and carjacking at Senator Street and Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge, as well as an earlier incident on the border of Victorian Flatbush, might have just struck again with help from a third perp.
According to police, at around 6:30 a.m. on Monday, February 6, one of the men approached a 31-year-old man as he walked to a van parked in front of 1844 Bath Avenue, placed him in a rear choke-hold and threw him to the ground. The perp then took the victim’s cell phone, wallet and a bag that contained close to $20,000 in cash and checks.
A second perp then approached a 22-year-old man who’d been sitting in the driver’s seat of the parked van and attempted to pull him out of the vehicle, at which time a third individual pulled up in front of the parked van in a black four door sedan, blocking it from moving.
