by CrownHeights.info

Another day in Crown Heights, another package thief arrested thanks to Shomrim.

Crown Heights Shomrim received a call Sunday night for a suspicious man entering porches in the area of Montgomery Street and Schenectady Ave, clearly on the hunt for unsecured packages.

Shomrim volunteers followed the man as he continued scouring the community, until he finally found a target on Montgomery Street near Brooklyn Ave.

The target was a pair of packages left behind a glass outer door of a home, and he quickly hopped onto the porch and grabbed his look. He didn’t make it far.

The Shomrim volunteers quickly engaged the person, keeping him on scene while the police responded to the home.

Caught red handed, he was soon cuffed and on his way to the 71st precinct.
