Two Minors Apprehended by Shomrim for Shoplifting

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Two young teenagers walked into Sterling Electronics this afternoon with the intention of ripping them off, only the sharp eyed store workers spotted them stuffing their pockets with electronics and called Shomrim.

The underage teens were approximately fourteen to sixteen years old.

Shomrim called 911 within moments of receiving the call, followed by a number of additional times at the scene itself and police still took over ten minutes to respond to the incident.

Once on scene the cops handled the situation properly, offering the owner not to press charges in consideration of their age, but a steadfast owner refused to back down saying “if we let them go now they will go on to other stores and bigger crimes.”

Police let one of the two go since he did not actually put any items in his pocket, unlike his friend who did.

While Shomrim was waiting for police to arrive one customer – an elderly black lady – who happened to be in the store while the incident was going on began making a fuss and saying that the store owners should let them go. One of the store clerks asked her if she was related to the suspects she answered “yes, I am, by the color of our skin”.

  • PRESS CHARGES

    WHAT RIGHT DO THE POLICE HAVE DISCOURAGING THE STORE ONER FROM PRESSING CHARGES? ARE THEY PLAYING THE JUDGE AND THE JURY?

    Is exactly how Obama got elected as president. Because all the black people were related to him “by the color of their skin”

    The black lady was NOT making a fuss. She was not an acomplice either. She was actually very polite and honest and just trying to help to kids who were in trouble. Thank you Simcha, Sterling Electronics.
