The driver noticed the theft when he went to the back of his truck to unload tires after he parked it between 74th Street and Bay Ridge Parkway just before 3 pm. A witness said they saw one man go into the cabin to grab the items from the center console while another acted as a lookout. Police are reviewing footage from surveillance cameras in the area.

Drinking baddie

Relief, then grief

The woman parked the car across from her home between 86th Street and Benson Avenue and ran inside, at which point the thief made his move. Security cameras captured him getting into the car via the drivers’ and speeding away towards 86th Street, according to the police report.
