Police Investigating Flower Hill Carjacking

Nassau County police continue to investigate a carjacking that took place in Flower Hill Sunday night.

According to detectives, a 51-year-old male was driving a 2013 Land Rover at Stonytown Road and Chanticlare Drive on Sunday at 9:45 p.m. when his vehicle was struck by an unknown older model dark colored SUV with four unknown men inside.

The victim pulled over to inspect the damage to his vehicle when two of the men from the other car displayed handguns, according to police. The men then took the victim’s wallet along with his jacket containing his car keys and an undetermined amount of cash. They pushed him to the ground and then fled in the Land Rover, heading west on Stonytown Road, police said.

A Third Precinct police officer saw the vehicle at Northern Boulevard and Community Drive in Manhasset, and said the men intentionally struck the marked police unit to avoid arrest. The officer was not injured.  

The stolen vehicle then headed westbound onto the Long Island Expressway. It was located unoccupied at Queens Boulevard and 62nd Street in Woodside where, police said, Nassau County and New York City Police officers conducted an extensive search.

The suspects could not be found, police said.

The vehicle was impounded and the victim treated for a minor back injury. There is no further description of the subjects or the vehicle they were operating.

Detectives request anyone with information regarding this crime to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
