At around 2:00am on Friday night the Shomrim hotline received a call from a frantic mother saying that her son who’s 30 years old with a history of mental heath issues did not return home since leaving to Shul at 8:00pm.

A number of members responded and began grid searching the neighborhood on foot, and after a short 20 minutes they found him roaming the streets in the vicinity of 770. A Shomrim member wrapped him in his jacket and notified the other units that he had been found, and together they walked him home.
