Attempted Home Invasion Evokes Massive Police Response

Wednesday night at around 7:00pm there was an attempt made to break into a home on Carroll St between Kingston and Albany. Present in the house at the time was one of the children who called 911 in a panic saying that someone was trying to open the porch window to get in. Many police officers both in uniform and plain clothed responded and surrounded the alleyway and the block with guns drawn and were searching for the perp, even a police helicopter was called in to search the rooftops to search for the perp.

The perp though was not apprehended. The Commanding Officer of the 71st precinct told CrownHeights.info that there was no chance being taken, after a rash of ‘home invasions’ and burglaries took place in the neighborhood, he said that the night before there were two perps apprehended on Crown St in regards to break-ins in the neighborhood.

CrownHeights.info would like to urge resident to take note of suspicious activity such as people wandering aimlessly around specific houses and the likes and report it to the Police and Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 at any time on any day! With your help we will make our neighborhood a safer place!

    what/who was “no chance being taken”? I think there are some words missing.

    There was such a lot of noise, of course the thief didn’t stick around to get caught!

    Poor kids must have been scared out of their skins. How old was the one in charge?

    is it just my imagination, or since your website started are there more catastrophes in one week than there used to be in a year? is there no important news in the world?

    what we learn from this is to be a community that is there for each other. we may all have relatives but we have to watch out for our neighbors as well. Keep watching, check out your windows. ONce I looked out my window and I saw something going on, and was able to call for help. We all have to try to do that. Not to say that this happened because we werent looking, but just to remind that we should all be looking out for one another. HaShem wants this of us, its Ahavas Yisroel and its what the Rebbe wants of us. Ikkar is caring for each other.

  • thanks for info
