A midafternoon robbery at a Glenwood Road commercial storefront in Brooklyn ended with a 60-year-old man losing his car to two armed suspects on Monday, June 22, police said. The pair allegedly flashed a gun, forced the victim out of his vehicle and then took off in it around 2:50 p.m. The case resurfaced on July 16 when the NYPD Crime Stoppers unit pushed out surveillance images and offered cash for tips.
What police released
In the July 16 alert, NYPD Crime Stoppers said two unidentified individuals approached the victim while he was inside a commercial establishment at 10019 Glenwood Road, displayed a firearm and ordered him to get out of his vehicle. The suspects then fled in the victim’s car, heading eastbound on Glenwood Road, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers.
The bulletin includes still images of the suspects and asks anyone with video or information to direct message @NYPDTips on X or call 1-800-577-TIPS. The post also advertises a reward of up to $3,500 for tips that lead to an arrest and indictment.
Where it happened
The alert pins the scene to 10019 Glenwood Road, an active commercial address in Brooklyn listed as the location for CARSTAR Brooklyn Auto Solutions, placing the incident in the 11236 ZIP code. CARSTAR Brooklyn Auto Solutions public listing confirms the business operates at that address.
Local context and past incidents
Glenwood Road has surfaced in police bulletins before. Local coverage last spring detailed a separate Glenwood Road stickup, a reminder that busy commercial strips and storefront cameras can end up doing double duty for detectives. That earlier case, covered by Hoodline in a Glenwood Road stickup, similarly leaned on public video to move the investigation forward.
How to help
Anyone with footage or information related to the June 22 robbery is asked to contact NYPD Crime Stoppers. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, texting CRIMES and entering TIP577, or sending a direct message to @NYPDTips.
The city’s 311 portal lists those same Crime Stoppers reporting options and explains how anonymity and reward policies work for tipsters, according to NYC311.
