“Residents are reminded to always lock your vehicles and to keep your key fobs away from interior doors and windows close to where your vehicle is parked in an effort to prevent potential thieves from stealing the signal your fob transmits,” The Haverstraw Police Department wrote on facebook. “Anyone with information is asked to contact the Stony Point Police at 845-786-2744 or email our tips line at TIPS@Haverstrawpolice.org.”

The crew could be seen clearly on the high definition camera as they backed into their targets driveway, prepared to make a quick getaway with or without the car.

One of the thieves could be seen hopping out of the vehicle, keeping low to the ground so as not be seen as he attempts to enter the vehicle.
