A pair of thieves were caught on surveillance video pulling a gun at a Manhattan parking garage employee – and then driving at a BMW and Mercedes.
Two people entered a garage on 181st Street, west of Hightson Avenue in Washington, around 8 a.m. Sunday – one of them shown in a video of a scooter moving.
He said there was an attempt to open a car door, from which one of the men told the attendant, “We are here to get a rental car,” sources said.
When the worker told them that they did not rent the vehicles, one of the suspects held a gun to his head and according to sources and footage, he was taken to a back room.
Meanwhile, the other suspect is shown a rifle through something on the desk.
The gunman told the attendant to step down and remain calm, and he complied, sources said.
Both suspects allegedly passed through the victim’s pockets and swiped the employee’s cellphone and wallet – as well as two sets of cars from a key box.
He said to use a Pennsylvania plate with a blue 2015 Mercedes Benz C30, and a 2014 black BMW 335i xDrive, and stopped in both cars, police said.
According to police sources, he was last seen heading towards the George Washington Bridge.
Both were still on loose Tuesday.
