Two teenagers were abducted in Corona by several men in a gray 4-door Ford Fusion and robbed at gunpoint before they were released at a Citi Field parking lot during the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 1.
Police from the 115th Precinct in Jackson Heights reported that a 15-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl were walking along 108th Street near 39th Avenue just after 3 p.m. when the vehicle pulled up alongside them.
A rear passenger threatened the teens with a silver handgun while demanding they get inside the vehicle, police said. Once inside, the victims were robbed of their cell phones, cash, a fanny pack, and a belt as the perpetrators drove east on Roosevelt Avenue toward Citi Field.
The New York Mets were playing in Chicago that day, so the parking lot was mostly empty when the suspects freed the teens at Shea Road and Stadium Place, west of the stadium alongside the Grand Central Parkway. The vehicle drove off in an unknown direction, and the victims were not injured during the armed robbery, police said.
