A 45-year-old man who was looking to buy a motorcycle was robbed at gun point by the man who was supposedly going to sell it to him, police said.

The victim met up with the suspect on June 17 under the pretense that he was buying a motorbike. When the suspect arrived at a meeting place, he entered the backseat of the victim’s car and directed him to drive to 21-16 35th Street.

Upon arrival, the suspect allegedly pointed a firearm at the victim’s head and demanded money. The victim complied and the suspect fled with $2,500.

A video of the suspect is attached.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

Acropolis where cheap bimbo transplants rent so they can get pounded into submission by strangers from local bars.

The Acropolis. If you had the bed bugs and no hot water, you’d be doing $2500 stick up jobs too.

He’s lucky he didn’t get killed.

Probably a craigslist deal that was too good to be true and ran over with the money before the “seller” changed his mind.

Be careful out there folks.

Op-ed: Time to register, license, and insure motorized two-wheelers before our streets become even more dangerous

Oct. 2, 2024 By Tom Grech, Councilmember Sandra Ung and Assemblymember Sam Berger

Businesses are feeling the impact. From Astoria to Flushing, sidewalks and streets that once allowed shoppers to stroll safely have become obstacle courses where two-wheelers zip past at alarming speeds, weaving between pedestrians and cars with little regard for the rules of the road. When customers are concerned for their safety, they are less likely to visit, which hurts both business owners and the wider local economy. Haphazardly parked two-wheelers frequently block sidewalks and parking spaces in our commercial corridors, making it more difficult for customers to access our local businesses. This is especially true for seniors and individuals with mobility issues, who now have the added challenge of navigating around e-vehicles to shop at their favorite stores or eat at their favorite restaurants.
