Photo courtesy of NYPD A dramatic car chase through Queens ended with a getaway car slamming into a Whitestone home and two suspected robbers in handcuffs, police said. The trouble began at about 7:45 p.m. on June 3 at a cellphone store in Flushing. According to authorities, three men entered the Verizon store at 191-30 Northern Blvd. while wearing masks and simulating a firearm, and announced they were robbing the place. The suspects then fled without taking anything, with one escaping on foot and the other two getting away in a van. Police were able to spot the van near the Cross Island Parkway and Willets Point Boulevard a short time later and a chase reportedly ensued. As the cops went after the suspects, the van struck two parked cars before crashing into a nearby home on Willets Point Boulevard. One suspect, 20-year-old Xavier Oneal of Brooklyn, was arrested at the scene. The van’s other occupant, 38-year-old Andrew Taylor, also of Brooklyn, was nabbed not far from the scene at Utopia Parkway and 17th Road after fleeing on foot. Both have been charged with robbery, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle and menacing, police said. According to the FDNY, five people were hurt as a result of the chase. Four were taken to North Shore-LIJ with minor or non-life-threatening injuries. One person refused medical attention at the scene. Photo courtesy of Jackeline Garcia Police chase ends after crash into Whitestone home Detectives hauled a Great Neck man to jail for allegedly stealing packages delivered to the front steps of several Queens homes in recent months, prosecutors announced on June 8. Yosef A. Loulai, 37, was arraigned June 5 on six separate criminal complaints that included petit larceny charges. He faces up to six years behind bars if convicted, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. Reportedly, Loulai stole packages from six different homes across Queens between April 1 and June 3, moments after they were delivered by various parcel carriers. Several of the incidents were caught by nearby security cameras. The incidents are as follows: On April 1, he removed a package containing a pair of women’s shoes valued at $111 from a home on 179th Street in Fresh Meadows. Hours later, Loulai allegedly went to a home three blocks away in Fresh Meadows and removed a box containing a bread maker, a book on acupuncture and a pain relief mat, worth a combined $140. On April 8, he removed a box containing a $150 filter from a home on 202nd Street in Bayside. Later that day, he removed a box containing $130 in action figures from a home on 214th Street in Oakland Gardens. On May 5, he removed a box containing a $183 toilet from the front porch of a home on 210th Street in Queens Village. On June 3, Loulai allegedly swiped a box containing seven shirts worth a combined $135 from a home on 257th Street in Bellerose. A police officer reportedly witnessed the June 3 theft and stopped Loulai, who was charged with the pattern of thefts as a result of an NYPD Grand Larceny Division investigation. Loulai remains held on $6,000 bond or $3,000 cash bail and is due back in court on July 30.
