NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 Police released surveillance footage on Thursday of two men wanted in connection with a violent armed robbery and carjacking pattern spanning multiple Queens precincts this month.<\/p>\n

The first incident took place just after 7 a.m. on Friday, Aug.14, opposite 138-18 57th Rd. in Flushing.<\/p>\n

According to officials, a 40-year-old man was sideswiped while sitting in his vehicle by a white Acura TLX bearing New Jersey license plate X68NPS. When the victim stepped out to check the damage, two suspects exited the Acura, with one flashing a firearm to demand his keys and belongings, which included a wallet holding credit cards, identification, and $30. <\/p>\n

The suspects then jumped into the victim’s BMW X3, valued alongside his other stolen property at roughly $44,630, and fled the location southbound on Main Street toward the Long Island Expressway.<\/p>\n

The following morning, Saturday, Aug.15, at about 8 a.m. a 32-year-old man was targeted at the back of his car parked in front of 168-06 Linden Blvd. in Rochdale. Two suspects approached him, brandished a firearm, and forced him to hand over his Rolex watch, wallet, and a handbag containing personal items and $4,000., authorities said. <\/p>\n

Before fleeing in a dark-colored BMW, the suspects ransacked the vehicle and one of the suspects struck the victim in the head with the gun, leaving him with a laceration and minor injuries totaling an estimated $67,900 in stolen goods, cops said.<\/p>\n

A third incident occurred at approximately 3:50 a.m. Aug. 19 in front of 82-14 155th Ave. in Howard Beach. A 26-year-old man was sitting in his car when a dark-colored BMW intentionally sideswiped him, prompting the victim to get out and inspect the damage. Two armed individuals approached him, issued verbal threats, ripped a necklace from his neck, and stole additional property including jewelry, credit cards, and $180. The victim sustained minor injuries and the suspects escaped in the dark BMW with property valued at approximately $46,230. <\/p>\n
