Shomrim members then called police and notified them that they are following the perp, by the time police arrived on scene, which was a short two minutes from the time of the initial call, the perp had already made his way to Carroll between Nostrand and Rogers and had broken another window and was inside the car when police nabbed him.
The perp, who was described as a male black in his late 20’s around 5”11 and a slim build, is believed to have started his spree on Albany Ave between President and Carroll where he broke into a car belonging to a Jewish resident, following the three additional cars that he hit in a matter of 5 minutes.
When police nabbed him he had a black back pack with contents from all the cars in his possession along with a rock that he had filed down in order to easily break the windows while making very little noise.
Shomrim members gave their account of what they had observed of the perps actions, and following that the officers thanked the members for the work that they do and how it’s really appreciated by the officers on the streets.

Our car was broken into last two nights ago. My sister was leaving the store and watched as a Spanish guy was breaking the window of our car. She yelled at him, he grabbed a camera and a cell phone and fled. She chased him and called for help. Eventually, people called for help and he was apprehended in the ally way… Good job sis!
