An off-duty NYPD cop is carjacked by two armed crooks and is later arrested in Harlem

Two crooks armed with two firearms, including an automatic weapon, were hunted down and arrested after stealing an off-duty police officer’s car in Harlem, police sources said Saturday.

The NYPD cop was getting into his white BMW at the corner of W. 146 St. and Bradhurst Ave. around 11:30 p.m. Friday when two men, ages 20 and 21, approached him with guns drawn, police sources said. The crooks demanded the cop’s keys and he gave them to him.

The two men then jumped into the police car and sped away north on Bradhurst Avenue, police sources said.

Officers followed the incident and tracked an iPad in the police car to the corner of Broadway and W. 138th Street, where they found the abandoned car with the robbers already on their way, sources said.

However, air force units helped police search for the couple, who were arrested nearby, it said.

One of the crooks had a modified pistol with an automatic firearm, police said.

Jomar Crespo, 21, was charged with robbery, grand theft auto, illegal possession of a machine gun, illegal possession of a loaded firearm, illegal possession of stolen property and illegal possession of an ammunition feeding device.

The same charges were brought against 20-year-old José Rivera, plus additional charges of manufacturing a rapid-fire weapon and manufacturing a dangerous instrument.

According to police, the two men have the same address in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Their arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court was scheduled for Saturday evening.
