Police were searching Thursday for two men who allegedly stole luxury cars, money and various other items from people at gunpoint in five separate incidents in Queens over the past week.
According to the NYPD, the first carjacking took place last Friday around 7 p.m., when the suspects pulled up next to a 35-year-old woman parked in her gray 2018 Porsche sedan near 67th Avenue and 228th Street in Oakland Gardens.
One of the men got out of their vehicle with a gun and forced the woman to hand over her car and cellphone, police said. That suspect fled in the woman’s Porsche, while the other man drove off in their car; the woman was not injured.
