FLUSHING — Police hope someone can help to identify three people suspected of telling victims they have a flat tire in order to distract them as they steal property from their cars.
According to police, one of the men will often ask to help change the tire as another swipes the items.
The three are suspected of being responsible for 13 grand larcenies across the borough from August 2012 to March of this year, police said.
According to the NYPD, about half of the thefts occurred in Flushing, and others happened in Howard Beach and Long Island City.
