Police from the 107th Precinct in Fresh Meadows are looking for two burglars who slipped into a parking garage at a Briarwood co-op building during the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 25, and drove off with a Mercedes-Benz luxury sedan.
Once inside the indoor car park at The Greenwood at 140-10 84th Dr., the two masked men were seen on video surveillance walking purposefully towards a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 at around 1 a.m.
