Shomrim Apprehend another Shoplifter

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Just yesterday Shomrim managed to apprehend a shoplifter who stole from Kingston Bargain Center, today another criminal was at it again, and Shomrim apprehended him as well.

The incident took place at around 2:00pm where the suspect walked into the store, and after browsing the isles he grabbed a package of tee shirts and fled with the store manager in pursuit.

A store worker alerted Shomrim, and a number of volunteers responded and managed to flag down a police cruiser and have the suspect stopped on Carroll street between Nostrand and Rogers, in front of Medgar Evers Collage.

A number of staff members from the CUNY school came out and tried to talk police into letting the shoplifter go without even inquiring as to why he was arrested. Police arrested the suspect.

This is the 4th time Shomrim has apprehended a shoplifter who stole from the Bargain Center in just two weeks.

    What is it with the Bargain Center that all these people get caught stealing there? I thought they were closing down?

  • FREE ADVERTISEMENT???

    dumb shvartzer at it again. maybe if there wasn’t such a long summer vacation the shvartzers wont be so bored and have to steal as a hobby as they would be too busy in school or doing homework. I think we should change the rules and do it like in Europe where they have 5 weeks summer vacation.

    This is how it goes…: The people who were trying to shoplift from Bargain Center are all black, they keep trying to shoplift everyday, So my conclusion is that, it’s a whole family/group/gang of people, who are all connected, who are trying to shoplift.

    My suggestion to the family gang is to try different tactics. Maybe, you’ll be successful. :)

    But, WATCH OUT, there’s Shomrim watching your every move…

  • just to note

    I think the fact the cashier is at the back end of the store makes them think it’s an easy grab-and-go type of situation.

  • Tell it like it is

    All of the incidents which have just kept on happening here to local Jewish stores or local girls should be classified as hate crimes- which is exactly what they are.

  • Good Comment #9

    To #9 – Best comment yet. Any word on why they have this unique and apparently illogical design where the store is an open market while all managerial staff are way in the back?
