Jewish Woman Groped, Shomrim Apprehend Two – Released

A pair of perverts assaulted a Jewish woman near Beis Rivka before the eyes of multiple witnesses. Once Shomrim was called they were apprehended, only to be released since only one committed the crime and the woman was not certain who it was.

The incident occurred at around 1:45pm near Beis Rivka on Lefferts and Brooklyn Avenues. The woman was loading packages into her car when she felt herself being grabbed from behind. Shocked, the woman turned and saw two Black men flee.

Not one to simply be a victim, she chased the two and others joined in. Shomrim received multiple calls alerting them to the incident and quickly found the perpetrators fleeing down Brooklyn towards Wingate Park.

Shomrim flagged down a police officer and together they stopped the first of the pair, and later chased the second one back to the location and police apprehended him as well.

Both were brought down to the precinct and were interrogated, meanwhile Police and Shomrim went searching for surveillance cameras that may have captured the incident. Beis Rivka had a number of cameras that pointed directly at the scene of crime, but unfortunately they were not recording – and haven’t been in quite some time.

Unable to charge one of the two with the crime police let both of the suspects go.

Shomrim volunteers commended the woman for her bravery and not backing down nor being ashamed, she responded “I teach my children to scream as loud as they can if someone [Chas Veshalom] touches them inappropriately, I will certainly do the same.”

    Could someone please explain the reason for the cameras not recording, do we need to pay more tuition for them to work.
    I bet the tuition collectors have working security cameras at their (mansions) homes

  • Shame on us

    Bais rivkah received millions from government for this security cameras and receiving funds for maintanance but still they don’t record ?
    This is Pikuach Nefesh shame on the Poeple for pocketing the funds

    “Beis Rivka had a number of cameras that pointed directly at the scene of crime, but unfortunately they were not recording – and haven’t been in quite some time.”

    That needs to be fixed.

  • Idiots

    If there were “multiple” witnesses then why could’t one of them say which one did the crime?!

  • Acting in Concert

    Of course they can both be charged, for acting in concert. And you state there were witnesses. Why don’t they step forward?

  • there is a boss

    plaster the photos of the two perps all over the streets maybe that will help!

  • bais rivka turn on your cameras!!!

    why the security camera if they arent on?!!!!!!

    • i'll bet anything

      i’ll bet anything that they cost less to just buy, so its looks upscale and safe, but no need to activate them, thus saving money.

  • yankel

    Of course you cant tell them apart they both like chayas, but I am guessing this is the price we pay for “civil rights” our rights our to pay for their welfare.

  • A yeshiva Bocher

    I’m hearing so many stories about how the Shomrim swiftly save the day. Way to go Shomrim!!!!!!

  • Cameras broken?!

    Cameras broken…Wonderful. AGAIN we make our own troubles. Idiots

  • Accomplice

    They are both guilty! May they both be groped by the Grim Reaper b’karov Mamesh!

  • What????

    What’s the point of having cameras if they aren’t working? What a waste of money. Bais Rivka is still fixing the steps after a year of working so the cameras will not work till 2019. The next time another girl has a problem near Bais Rivka we know the perps will walk away. Good job, Bais Rivka, keep up the good work.

  • Why?

    Charge both of them! One for the crime and the other for assisting. (Then one of them will surely tell on the other)

  • shaq

    unfortunattely these days its 2 hard to tell the diff. bet. 2 shachors the only way to know whos who is with proper security cameras

  • # 12 can we expect $ from you to fix cameras..

    or are you also a idiot like all ?

  • Your all idiots

    A single accusation, witnesses who didn’t come forward to point out the guilty party, and not one iota of evidence. Oh yes, since these men are obviously guilty.(No doubt out it, I deduced this from all of the evidence readily available and I am of course a genius.) So lets take a picture of these obviously guilty men and post them online. *Sigh* America…

  • concerned

    besides the fact they dont have cameras the money they get for food they take home the administrators for themselves while other peaple starve they use it as a foodbank shame on yourselves you know who you are one day you will be busted

  • B.R.'s (possible) chillul Hashem

    Yes, I said it (!), in response to:
    “Beis Rivka had a number of cameras that pointed directly at the scene of crime, but unfortunately they were not recording – AND HAVEN’T BEEN IN QUITE SOME TIME.” (emphasis mine)
    It’s no sin for a device to break down, but this security camera system has been down for an inexcusable length of time, if this report is accurate.
    Also, if #4 is accurate (“Bais rivkah received millions from government for this security cameras.”), this is mamosh a chillul Hashem. (even if the word “millions” is an exaggeration; if B.R. got any money at all, specifically for security cameras, it’s a big chillul Hashem!)
    If the amount of money given to B.R. was truly not enough to maintain the cameras, I’m sure sending out a notice to the parents would have been sufficient to have brought in money from those able and concerned about security and safety — at least enough money for immediate repairs, until more long-lasting funding could have been raised.
    Are the people in charge of Beis Rivka out of their minds? They’ve sure got some explaining to do! The problem now is: Are they to be believed???
    (I’m just glad that the lady is OK.)
