I was mugged at the Kingston Avenue subway station, just steps away from 770 and the Jewish Children's Museum. While paying for a MetroCard two black teenagers approached me, tried to divert my attention and ran off with my wallet and the money in my hand.

I ran after them screaming “Chaptzem! Chatzem!” and people in the area began to chase them, including my brother who happened to be there just then. Immediately, I called Shomrim (it's the first number listed on my cell phone - thanks to a tip from CrownHeights.info) and members responded within seconds. The Shomrim members were immediately recognizable with their caps and ID tags. They took the information from me and stayed with me the entire time to help me out. They came with me in the police car so I could try to ID the perpetrator at the scene and followed me and the cops to the station to fill out a report.

Thank You, Shomrim!

Instead of leaving me at the station, located on Carroll St. And Franklin Ave., the Shomrim members remained with me for over two hours while I completed the paperwork. They then drove me back in their personal car and dropped me off in front of my house.

Thank you Shomrim for your dedicated and professional work.

Remmber, if you are the victim of a crime or feel that you may be come one do not hesitate to call 911 and Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7

    Wonderful Shomrim!
    You’ll probably have to chase them again when they’re let out in 2 weeks.
    I heard that the NYC Transit Authority oversees all arrests: turnstile justice.

    Another Thank you is due to Shomrim.

    At 11:45 pm my doorbell rang. It was a shvartze voice saying that she lived in apartment 2F of my building and she left her keys at home, if I can please buzz her in. After a quick review in my mind of apartment 2F, and realizing that in this apartment lives a Yid, and NOT a goy, I didn’t buzz her in. These two shvartze rang more bells, someone DID let them in. A very responsible Yid in our building, who also had his bell rung at this time and was told by the Shvartes that they live in 1A ran out and yelled at them to get away.

    To say that Shomrim responded within SECONDS would be an understatement!!!! Just the security of hearing a few cars pull up and screach to a halt within moments, and to hear the shomrim men charge through our building to convass it to make sure the goyim left……

    THANK YOU SHOMRIM FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR US!
