Carjackers stole a man’s $400,000 Rolls Royce and $85,000 Patek Phillippe watch at gunpoint after boxing the luxe vehicle in on a Queens street Friday morning, police and sources said.
The 34-year-old victim was driving the 2024 luxury ride when he pulled over at 5:20 a.m. because he noticed that his trunk was open, cops said.
He got out to close it at 31st Street and 35th Avenue and was suddenly blocked in by a gray Dodge Durango SUV, according to police.
Three masked men jumped out, police said.
“One of the three individuals displayed a firearm and made verbal threats,” cops said.
All three then removed the victim’s pricey watch, cellphones, a registered firearm, a car key, a jacket and his U.S. Passport, cops and sources said. The man had a woman in the vehicle with him, the sources said.
Two people fled in the Dodge and the other two took off in the victim’s Rolls Royce Ghost, which has Florida license plate 16FCWR.
The value of the stolen property is approximately $491,000, cops said.
A short time later, two men were seen in getting into the car in Brooklyn.
Police released surveillance photos and video of the man, who had taken off their masks, cops said.
