Muggers Apprehended After Stealing Woman’s Phone

A Jewish woman was mugged yesterday and thanks to a quick call to 911 the two thieves were apprehended two blocks away, and were arrested. The woman’s phone was recovered and returned to her.

The incident occurred at around 5:30pm on Montgomery Street near Troy Avenue, the woman was pushing a stroller with her infant child when she was approached by a group of Black men who snatched her phone and fled.

A passerby called 911 who immediately flooded the area and managed to stop a group on Empire Boulevard near Schenectady Avenue. The woman was brought over and identified two of the perpetrators who were immediately arrested.

Her phone was found in their possession and was returned to her.

    I bet they were out 5 minutes later and all fired up to commit another crime.

    Credit is given where credit is due. The fact in the lsst year or so the police have done a fine job. It also doesn’t help that liberal judges help the criminals with their tolerating attitude.
