Alarm Scares off Burglar

Crown Heights, Brooklyn – In a brazen attempt to burglarize a Crown Heights home in broad daylight, an unknown number of perpetrators broke into the home on Eastern Parkway and Albany Avenue.

They broke a window leading into a laundry room in the back of the home, and 20 seconds later the alarm went off, apparently chasing them away.

The incident took place sometime around 3:00 in the afternoon when the alarm sounded and one of the residents came home to see the house slightly disturbed and immediately called 911 and Shomrim, who arrived on scene within moments and secured the house until police showed up.

Upon inspecting the house the resident confirmed to CrownHeights.info that nothing was apparently taken, not even a 100 dollar bill that was sitting on the dining room table in plain view.

A resident from down the block related that he had successfully apprehended a burglar a half a year ago in his home one night at 4:00am, his alarm system waking him and alerting him the presence of an intruder, who he said broke in using the same method.

A police report had been filled out.

In case of an emergency never hesitate to call 911 and Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7
