Shomrim Foil Robbery Attempt at Kosher Town

At around 6:45pm a Shomrim member who was working in the vicinity of Kosher Town spotted a Black male exiting the storage basement which is located on Empire and Albany. The Shomrim member immediately called for backup and numerous units responded and followed the suspect into a building across the street.

A Black resident of that building who was standing in the entranceway immediately pointed the Shomrim members in the direction he went; only after a moment or two the man exited the building with a large garbage bag, the resident once again pointed him out. Police had shown up on scene by then and were direct to the suspect whom they stopped and upon confirmation by the witnesses and the store owner that he was the perp they arrested him.

The witnesses and store owner were then taken down to the precinct where they filled out a complaint and the perp was charged with criminal trespassing.

If you see something say something, do not hesitate to call Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7!
