Four armed masked men carjacked a 34-year-old licensed gun owner of his pricey Rolls Royce during a daring early-morning carjacking in Queens Friday, police said.
The victim was driving his luxury car past the corner of 31st St. and 35th Ave. in Astoria at about 5:30 a.m. when he noticed a black Dodge Durango tailing him.
The Durango forced the Rolls Royce owner to pull over, cops were told. A moment later, four masked men jumped out of the SUV and charged the luxury car, cops said.
All four suspects pulled guns on the victim, forcing him out of his vehicle. Two of the suspects jumped into the car and sped off with it, followed by the remaining gunmen in the Dodge Durango.
No injuries were reported. It was not immediately disclosed what Rolls Royce model the victim owned.
The victim, a licensed gun owner, had a pistol on him when police arrived, but told officers he decided against getting into a firefight with the armed robbers.
Cops were looking for the Rolls Royce thieves Friday.
