Nassau Police are warning drivers and gas station owners to take precautions at the pump. GusoffTV reports.
It happened yet again. A driver was pumping gas, the car running, this time at the Shell station on Carman Avenue in Westbury Sunday morning. Video shows a thief jump in and speed off with the Mercedes, the gas nozzle still attached. That makes it four in a month.
In mid-December, in Glen Head, a woman was dragged as a thief sped off with her Range Rover. Nassau Police now reveal that the following week in Roslyn an 80-year-old driver was targeted while pumping gas. Last week, a thief drove off with a Range Rover in Mineola, stealing not only the car, but the dog left inside. The dog was paralyzed after being thrown out the window.
With car thefts nearly doubled in a year from 561 to 968, Nassau Legislator John Ferretti blames the spike on criminal justice changes in Albany. The Mercedes stolen Sunday was abandoned nearby after it crashed into another car during the getaway. The thief fled.
