A neighborhood in the Bronx has been left tormented after a string of car break-ins have left victims without tires, airbags and answers.
Monday was off to a terrible start for hard-working residents in the Allerton neighborhood after several vehicles were broken into overnight.
“They took everything,” said Bryce Jordan, whose car was broken into. “At least $6,000 worth of music system.”
Drivers say it’s becoming dangerous to park in the area, located near the 3000 block of Bronx Park East, and that it has now become a shopping strip for car parts.
“It’s getting worse and worse,” said one resident. “They have been stealing tires. Everybody’s tires. Leaving them on concrete. Stealing airbag.”
Victims say this isn’t the first time it’s happened and that their calls for help are going unanswered.
In the most recent break-in, owners told Eyewitness News that mostly Accura vehicles were targeted.
“This whole strip, they got all Acura cars and took all the airbags,” said one of the victims Kevin Tucker.
