Four men were arrested Wednesday after a woman’s body was found in the trunk of a car, New York City police said.

Officers on patrol just before 2 a.m. saw four men carrying something out of a building in the Far Rockaway section of Queens, police said. The men put the object in the trunk of a car and drove away, police said.

The officers followed the car to the Long Island town of Lawrence, where they pulled it over and found an unconscious and unresponsive woman wrapped in a blanket in the trunk, police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The four men were taken into custody, police said. Charges against them were pending.
