Package Thief Caught In The Act By Crown Heights Shomrim

by CrownHeights.info

A Crown Heights package thief was caught red-handed Monday afternoon after an eagle-eyed Shomrim volunteer caught him lifting packages from a Union Street porch.

The thief was spotted around 1:15pm riding up and down Union Street between Kingston Ave and Albany Ave on a bike while clutching a black garbage bag.

Recognizing that the suspicious man was up to no good, the volunteer watched as the thief scampered onto a porch and began stuffing multiple packages into his bag. Holding his now bulging bag, the thief hopped back onto his bike and attempted to make his getaway.

Unfortunately for him, the thief didn’t make it very far, with multiple Shomrim volunteers stopping him half a block away at the corner of Union Street and Albany Ave.

Soon after, the police arrived, finding the stolen packages stuffed into the thief’s garbage bag. The thief was placed under arrest and taken away in handcuffs.
