NEW YORK - Police are searching for a pair of Fiat Flippers who turned a Staten Island driver’s Italian car on its side. 

Cops said the vandals struck at a Staten Island strip mall. At around midnight on September 30, a pair of men pulled up alongside a 1971 Fiat parked in the Woodrow Village Shopping Mall. The men got out of a dark colored Nissan and walked over to the Fiat. 

Mall surveillance video captured the pair smiling as they rocked the yellow Fiat back and forth. Ultimately the car tipped onto its side causing damage. 

The vandals piled back into the Nissan and drove off. Both suspects are described as males with light complexions and slim builds. Both wore hoodies. One wore a gray sweatshirt, the other wore black. 

Neither suspect covered their face as they tipped the car over.
