#Breakingnews NYPD Officer Allegedly Carjacked by Armed Migrant Gang member in Harlem Late Friday night, an off-duty NYPD officer was allegedly carjacked at gunpoint in Harlem. The incident took place at the intersection of West 146th Street and Bradhurst Avenue, with two armed individuals reportedly identified as Venezuelan migrants, according to police sources. The officer, despite being armed, chose not to engage the two suspects due to the high risk. The assailants, brandishing firearms, commandeered the officer's white BMW 330, and fled northbound on Bradhurst Avenue. Using an iPad left in the stolen vehicle, authorities tracked the BMW to Broadway and West 138th Street, where it was found unoccupied. The suspects were subsequently apprehended without incident. Police recovered two firearms, one of which was a Glock modified with a fully automatic switch—a rarity in New York City and a significant cause for concern. The suspects were identified as Jomar Crespo, 21, and Jose Rivera, 20. Both lacked identification, but one bore a tattoo linked to a Venezuelan gang, potentially the TDA gang, raising further alarms about the presence of organized criminal elements. Senior police officials, including Chief Stephenson, Inspector Edwards, and Captain Diaz, were promptly informed and were present at the scene. The officer, assigned to the 48th Precinct, was not harmed during the incident. The NYPD has launched a comprehensive investigation, which includes video interrogation of the suspects. The case has been escalated to the central robbery division for in-depth analysis and further action.
