* A handprint helped cops track down a thief who swiped four tires from a parked car in Flushing. The owner of the vehicle called cops after he found all four tires and rims had been stripped from his 2008 Honda Accord while it was parked on 65th Avenue near 156th Street, shortly after 11 p.m. on Sept. 22.
Police examined the car and found a right palm print on the front fender of the vehicle, sources said.
Cops used the print to identify Angel Martinez, 24, linking him to the crime.
He was arrested on Tuesday and charged with grand larceny, said a spokesperson for Queens DA Richard Brown.
