Shopkeepers: Beware of Counterfeit $100 Bills

Two young black men are reportedly walking around the neighborhood trying to pass off $100 counterfeit bills. The counterfeits are relatively good fakes, and difficult to distinguish from regular legal tender. Sources confirm that they have been trying for many days to pass off one of their bills in all the shops on Kingston, but so far have only managed to cheat the Kol Tuv grocery store.

In the extended article are security camera stills of one of the men at the Kol Tuv grocery store. If you see him, please contact Shomrim immediately at (718) 774-3333.

A portion of the video capturing the mattress thefts which took place on Sunday.

A Bochur walking home late at night was attacked from behind, a towel wrapped around his head so that he could not see his attackers, kicked and punched to the moment he felt that he was surely going to die. A group of four walks into a dorm where guests are staying and steal mattresses, quilts and pillows. A Maggid Shiur gets interrupted in 770 then shoved around and bullied. This was but a handful of incidents perpetrated by a band of Tzfatis last week.
