Then, a second white van pulled up behind the victim’s car. At this point, cops say, the victim was forcibly removed from his car by a person who came up to his vehicle on foot, and who threw him to the ground before taking off in the victim’s car, accompanied by the two vehicles that had blocked the victim’s way. While the victim’s car was recovered 12 blocks away, $9,000 in checks and more than $12,000 in cash were missing.
