"A bizarre Brooklyn carjacking that ended with a stolen SUV crashing through a fence and teetering on a retaining wall above a highway was part of a massive illegal marijuana robbery involving more than 600 pounds of weed, police said Tuesday. Three people - two of the three carjackers, as well as their victim - were arrested for their part in a half-baked plan to steal the SUV, which had more than 150 pounds of marijuana hidden inside, cops said."
"Victim Ting Liu, 37, was driving the pot-packed 2014 Toyota Sienna through Dyker Heights when three men approached his SUV as he was stopped near the corner of Bay Ridge Parkway and 11th Ave. around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, cops said. The suspects punched Liu in the face, knocking him to the ground. Then they repeatedly kicked him while one of the men had his hand jammed in his pocket as if he had a gun."
"About a half hour later, the speeding Sienna plowed through a fence at the corner of Dyker Place and 84th St. and plunged down a small embankment, cops said. It came to a crunching halt at the edge of a retaining wall above an on-ramp to the Manhattan-bound lanes of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The SUV was found hanging on the edge of the wall as the sun came up Saturday, the passenger-side front tire dangling off the ledge."
A carjacked SUV loaded with more than 150 pounds of marijuana crashed through a fence and stopped teetering on a retaining wall above a highway. Three people, including two suspects and the victim, were arrested in connection with the stolen vehicle and the drugs. Victim Ting Liu was assaulted, robbed of his phone, wallet and keys, shoved into the Sienna and driven off. Witnesses reported the abduction and officers later found the crashed SUV filled with marijuana. Officers also recovered a larger cache of cannabis and THC-laced edibles at a nearby address.
