BROOKLYN — The white Dodge Caravan used in the abduction and murder of a Brooklyn real estate developer was found Tuesday in Brownsville, according to reports.

Security cameras captured Menachem Stark being abducted outside his Williamsburg office on Jan. 2 and being forced into the van by two men. Stark was found dead in a Long Island dumpster the next day.

"A van similar to the one used has been recovered yesterday in Brooklyn," confirmed an NYPD spokesman.

Detectives seized the vehicle, which appears to have been washed and cleaned, as a man tried to drive it away. The man was questioned but not charged, the New York Daily News reported.

Stark's brother, Yitzy Stark, 30, declined to talk about the development.

"I know as much as you know," he told DNAinfo New York.
