A man was apprehended thanks to Crown Heights Shomrim after breaking into at least two vehicles in Crown Heights Sunday night.

The man, who appears to be homeless, had found an unlocked vehicle in Crown Heights and went inside, only to be confronted by the vehicles owner.

Shomrim was called, and the man was followed to the area of the Kings County Morgue where he found another unlocked vehicle, this time a construction van. He entered the van and the police were called.

When officers arrived, they placed the man in custody for the unauthorized use of a vehicle and possible burglary.

Crown Heights Shomrim thanked the officers of the NYPD on Twitter, saying “Thanks to a fast response by our vol’s and @NYPD71Pct one under arrest for breaking into cars.”
