Brooklyn Man Watches As Thieves Steal His Motorcycle, Police Say

EAST NEW YORK, BROOKLYN — A Brooklyn man looked out his window and saw thieves drive away with his motorcycle in their van, police said.

The 31-year-old man, who lives near Crescent Street and Blake Avenue, glanced out his window at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday and spotted three men who had just broken into the garage where he kept his two motorcycles, said police.

The bike burglars had already loaded one bike into their van and were trying to steal the second when its owner began to scream, police said.

Surveillance shows the men dropping the second bike on the curb, jumping into their van and speeding away down Crescent Street, said police.

Police released surveillance photos of the suspects — all of whom wore hoodies and dark clothing — on Sunday.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact police.
