CONCOURSE VILLAGE — A trio of thieves attacked a livery driver, stole his cab and used it as their getaway vehicle for a shoplifting spree at a 7-Eleven in The Bronx, police said.
The crime spree began around 3:05 a.m. on Oct. 30 around when three men came up to the 36-year-old livery driver in front of 753 Concourse Village West, where he was sitting in front of his car, according to the NYPD.
The suspects grabbed their victim by the neck and stole his wallet, cellphone and cash before fleeing in his vehicle, police said.
About four hours later, they were spotted shoplifting at the 7-Eleven at 1845 Webster Ave., and then fled in the stolen car, according to police.
