Wild Chase Ends with Car Burglar’s Arrest

At around noon today, a Jewish Crown Heights resident discovered that his newly purchased car had been stolen. He contacted the NYPD, but they were unable to file a report or begin an investigation because the car’s registration and other paperwork had not yet been prepared.

About six hours later, the man was standing near his home on Union St. between Kingston and Albany Ave., when he saw his car being driven by an African-American male with a female companion.

The owner got into his friend’s car and tried to discreetly follow them, but the burglar realized he was being followed and he tried to speed away. Amid the chase, the burglar crashed into a parked vehicle on the corner of Union and Albany, after which both he and his female companion fled the vehicle in opposite directions.

The owner and his friend, as well as several employees of the local merchants, chased the perpetrator down to Albany Ave. and President St., where they caught him and tackled him to the ground.

Meanwhile a police officer saw what seemed to be a Jewish mob chasing a black man, and tried to intervene. However, after hearing the details of what occurred, the officers took the perpetrator into custody.

The car, which sustained minor damage, was returned to its rightful owner.
