Nelson is Out and Terrorizing us Again

CrownHeights.info and Shomrim are turning to the general public in a request to please keep an extra eye out for this man.

He is known as Derrik Nelson, he is the perpetrator behind dozens upon dozens of car break-ins causing damages in the tens of thousands of dollars to cars in our community along with the added aggravation and inconvenience of needing to fix the damage. Due to the nature of the crime which is classified as a GLA (Grand Larceny Auto) which is a crime that carries a little if any jail time.

Shomrim are out every night patrolling our streets but they still need the publics help, if you see him or anyone lurking around and suspicious call the Shomrim hotline at (718) 774-3333 at anytime to alert patrolling members to keep an extra eye on him and prevent this slew of break-ins.

We Are Back!

Thank you all for your patience, we are finally back!

There are still some bugs to work out but it will all be back to normal by days end, G-d willing.

This upgrade will give us the ability to meet and exceed the demand.

Expect slower updates today as we regain our bearings and return to normal updating.
