SUNNYSIDE — A group of teenagers stole a Zipcar in Queens last week, then crashed it the next day into a parked car before running off, according to the NYPD.

The four boys — believed to be between 15 and 18 years old — swiped the car from the Zipcar parking lot on Queens Boulevard and 47th Street sometime overnight on June 26, police said.

Around 9:30 the following morning, they crashed the vehicle into a truck parked on 48th Street near Northern Boulevard while a 37-year-old woman was sitting inside, according to police.

The teens then ditched the car and fled north on 48th Street, police said. The woman wasn't injured in the collision, according to authorities.

A witness snapped pictures of the suspects, including one shot of them running away.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
