BRONX - A group of thieves maced and pistol whipped a Bronx man in his car and then made off with $60,000 in luxury watches, the NYPD said.



At around 3 pm on January 22, a 48-year-old man was sitting in his car in the vicinity of East Gun Hill Road and Kingsland Avenue. Cops said a man entered the car in the passenger seat and pepper sprayed the victim in the face.


Then two other men entered the car, took out a handgun and pistol whipped him about the head, cops said. They grabbed a group of the victim’s luxury watches and all three exited the car, cops said. They then hopped into a gray sedan and drove away. 


The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspects and the alleged getaway car.



The suspects are described as males with thin builds. One suspect was last seen wearing a cream colored hoodie, black pants and black sneakers.
