by CrownHeights.info

An unlucky car burglar found out the hard way Thursday night that Crown Heights is perhaps not the best place to break into a car.

The slightly intoxicated man had found an open vehicle on Kingston Ave near Lefferts Ave, and was identified immediately as a burglar by neighbors.

While a group of neighbors began making noise and scaring him off, Crown Heights Shomrim and 911 was called.

The scared burglar took off on Kingston Ave towards Empire Blvd, not even making it past Empire before he was being followed by the Shomrim volunteers.

minutes later the NYPD arrived, taking the burglar into custody.
