Within moments a number of Shomrim members arrived on scene and began securing the Shul’s perimeter when young kids started exiting the Shul. The kids, 5 boys and 2 girls, all Jewish ages ranging from 15 to 18 were apparently ‘hanging out’ in the Shul’s basement, while claiming to have gone in to ‘use the bathroom’.
Shul‘s Serving New Nighttime Purposes?
On Motzoai Shabbos at around 4:30am Shomrim received a call for a robbery in progress in the ‘Bais Medrash Bais Binyomin’ Shul on Montgomery St between Kingston and Albany. The first Shomrim member to arrive on scene saw movement thru the windows of the Shul and spotted the back door open and heard voices from inside.
