CROWN HEIGHTS — A group threw glass bottles at a Crown Heights driver last week, officials said, breaking them on his car as he drove by, he told police.

The driver was driving eastbound on Montgomery Street, when a group of people, whose identities are unknown, approached his car and began breaking glass bottles over it at roughly 11:30 p.m. on May 30, police said.

The incident happened outside of 324 Montgomery St. near Rogers Avenue, police said.

The car windows were closed at the time. There were no injuries and there was no damage to the vehicle, police said.

Other notable crimes in this week’s blotter from the 71st Precinct in Crown Heights and Prospect-Lefferts Gardens include:

► A man stole approximately $4,000 worth of jewelry from the M&M Jewelry and Electronics store at 674 Flatbush Ave. near Westbury Court at roughly 7 p.m. on May 27, the store manager told police. The suspect broke the front window with a hammer and snatched the jewelry out of a display case, police said.

► Thieves took microphones, a speaker, a generator and various electronic equipment worth about $2,700 from a work vehicle parked outside of 1423 Union St. near Brooklyn Avenue on the night of May 27.
