Police are searching for three men who are wanted in connection with an armed chain-snatching in Unionport.

It happened around 7 p.m. on Friday along White Plains Road near Gleason Avenue.

Surveillance video shows a car whipping around the corner and a person running from the scene, just moments after police said a gunman fired several shots and robbed the victim.

Citizen app video shows first responders on scene – but the FDNY told News 12 that they did not find a victim.

One witness, who asked not to be identified, said he was sitting on his porch when everything unfolded.

“I heard what I thought were two gunshots,” the witness said. “And then I guess the same person threw a bottle? It looked like it was full of smoke, and then he ran.”

As of Saturday evening, no arrests have been made. The NYPD is asking anyone with information to give them a call.
