94th Precinct
Greenpoint–Northside
Car trouble
Two aggressive thieves waited for a driver to pull over his car on McGuiness Boulevard on Nov. 25 — and then told him to get down on the ground while they sped off with it, police said.
The driver told cops he noticed sputtering noises in the back of his car near Broome Street at 5:22 pm, and pulled over to investigate. That’s when the goons made their move.
Thanks-taking
Someone stole a coffeemaker from a restaurant on Manhattan Avenue sometime between Nov. 28 and 29, police said.
The restaurant near Jackson Street closed early for Thanksgiving, and the coffemaker was last seen at 1:30 pm that day. When employees returned at 9 am the next day, it was gone.
