Detectives are hoping a silver sedan used in the firebombing of a Queens strip club will lead them to the thugs who robbed and shot a New York Knick outside the same jiggle joint, sources said.
The owner of the Nissan Altima driven by arsonists to CityScapes nightclub before the club was set ablaze Thursday lives in Bed-Stuy and told cops it had been stolen, according to law-enforcement sources.
Cops believe the robbery and the arson are connected — and that the firebugs were trying to destroy surveillance video inside the club.
Detectives have been zeroing in on the Brooklyn neighborhood ever since Knicks player Cleanthony Early’s iPhone was found near Bed-Stuy’s Sumner Houses, sources said.
