Two armed men believed to be Venezuelan migrants — one of whom was carrying a fully automatic pistol — carjacked an off-duty NYPD officer in Harlem, law enforcement sources said.
The men approached the officer while he was sitting inside his personal 2020 BMW around 11:30 p.m. Friday at West 146 Street and Bradhurst Avenue, sources said.
The suspects, who had tattoos believed to be associated with a Venezuelan gang, had their weapons drawn.
One of them knocked the officer’s gun out of his hand and demanded his keys.
The pair then sped off into the night in the officer’s vehicle, police sources told The Post.
One of the guns in the brazen incident had a glock switch, making it fully automatic, something not typically seen in New York City, sources said.
Inside the vehicle was the cop’s iPad, which was used to track the car down.
It was found empty less than a mile away at West 138th Street and Broadway, sources said.
Police scoured the area and located the suspects.
Two guns were also recovered.
Neither man had their IDs on them, but provided their names to police as Jomar Crespo, 21, and Jose Rivera, 20, with a shared address in Waterbury, Conn.
Authorities believe the suspect gave fake names, sources said.
Rivera and Crespo were each charged with robbery, grand theft auto, possession of a machine gun, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of stolen property, making rapid-fire modifications to a gun and unlawful possession of an ammo feed device.

It’s what NY voted for. What’s the problem?
I understand the Venezuelans emptied their prisons and sent the prisoners here. If that’s true than unfortunately we’re going to see more of this. Biden turns a blind eye.
In 206 days the MSM will blaming the highest rate of all crime in modern days along with deadliest crimes committed by illegals on Trump going back to 2016, just watch.
“In 206 days the MSM will blaming the highest rate of all crime in modern days along with deadliest crimes committed by illegals on Trump going back to 2016, just watch.”
There has to be a point where the Deep State says that even they cannot support this dumpster fire anymore which is the Biden administration.
I grew up in Waterbury Ct! Back then the big influx of migrants were from Albania. They were drawn by the factory work available.
I’m guessing the pistol was fully automatic with a 200 round clip for shells 🤣🤣🤣
They don’t call them “undocumented” for nothing.
Huh?
The officer had his gun drawn and they "knocked it out of his hand"? Something doesn't sound right.
The festering, unwiped anus of New Haven County.
Wow, that's a block away from where President Trump met with the bodega owners.
Why did they not just take them over to the Harlem river, weigh them down with 100lb of lead, and drop them in? When more car jackets start disappearing, that crime will stop.
“Rivera and Crespo were each charged with robbery, grand theft auto, possession of a machine gun, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of stolen property, making rapid-fire modifications to a gun and unlawful possession of an ammo feed device.”
Both were released on zero cash bond. DA Alvin Bragg reduced all charges to misdemeanor loitering. /s

Sounds as though it was a Glock with a “Glock Switch” installed.
Stole a car and drove a mile. smh
If this were an episode of Chicago P.D., these guys would have just vanished.
“Migrants rob off-duty NYPD officer’s personal car at gunpoint: sources (illegal alien Venezuelan gangsters)”
And now Venezuela won’t take them back if we deport them. Oh well, we could always send them to Gitmo and forget about them for 50 or so years.
Sure sure- “2 guns were recovered“- did someone buy a bridge too?
Venezuelans emptied their prisons and sent the prisoners here.
Indeed as did 179 other countries Biden & Co. approved.
“...while he was sitting inside his personal 2020 BMW”
Hmmm.
