ELMHURST — A 32-year-old Westchester County man was convicted this week in the 2012 kidnapping and robbery of a Woodside car dealer, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
The DA’s office said Omar Hutchinson, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., was convicted Monday on charges of kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, attempted grand larceny and robbery.
The conviction stems from a February 2012 incident in which Hutchinson and another suspect, who has not been identified, robbed a 33-year-old man at gunpoint after he parked his car in a garage underneath his apartment building in Elmhurst, the DA said.
The two suspects took the victim’s wallet, cellphone and watch before they bound and gagged the man, according to the DA’s office.
Hutchinson and his accomplice then took the victim to a nearby bank and grocery store in search of more cash before eventually taking off in his Jaguar, the DA’s office said.
Hutchinson faces up to 25 years in prison, according to the DA.
