'We really didn't know what money was, we had food, and a warm home and kitchen sink to brush our teeth,' Warnock said. 'But my parents taught me about hard work at their own two-stall garage and filling station. Through them I learned that caring for others is our first priority and that will never change until my time on earth is up' To learn more about A1 Automotive, or to schedule an appointment, please visit Disclaimer: The above press release comes to you under an arrangement with GlobeNewswire.

A tense confrontation involving a suspected stolen car erupted in gunfire Tuesday night, with a police officer opening fire on a passenger in the vehicle on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn Tuesday night, authorities said.

Two suspects inside the vehicle, however, took off on the Belt Parkway — traveling for nearly 8 miles before they ditched the car near Seaview Ave. and Pennsylvania Ave. in East New York and started to run, police sources said.

NYC crew accused of fencing luxury cars, shipping them to West Africa
THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) — An eight-man crew is accused of fencing luxury vehicles, including a $425,000 Rolly Royce, out of a Bronx garage and shipping them to West Africa, authorities said Tuesday. The defendants allegedly stole the high-priced cars in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, and sold them out of a showroom in the Bronx before putting the vehicles on shipping containers heading overseas, prosecutors said. The buyers inspected the cars in the Longwood garage and paid in cash before driving them out. Many of the vehicles were found in shipping containers headed to Gambia and Ghana, authorities said. In total, 72 cars worth $6.6 million, including a 2025 $425,000 Rolly Royce, a Porshe, and Lamborghini, were fenced in a nine-month investigation called 'Operation High Rollers,' officials said. 'This case shows the sophistication and scale of today's auto theft rings — stealing luxury vehicles across state lines, fencing them in the Bronx, and shipping them overseas. These are not low-level crimes; they are part of a multimillion-dollar black market that fuels violence and instability,' NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. Five of the eight defendants were arrested but all have been indicted in the scheme, prosecutors said. `They face several charges, including criminal possession of stolen property. The defendants are: Mamadou Camara, 29 Moussa Doumbia, 30 Arona Amadou, 35 Moubarak Djibril, 23, (not in custody) Mohamed Kamara, 26 (arraigned on April 23 and released without bail) Mouslim Ouedaogo, 32 Mamadi Sidibe, 24 (not in custody) Amadou Fofana, 35,(not in custody Submit tips to police by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), visiting downloading the NYPD Crime Stoppers mobile app, or texting 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.
