A shoplifter who tried to make off with illegally acquired goods from the Marketplace in Crown Heights has his hands full with something other than merchandise Monday, after being caught and arrested thanks to the help of Shomrim.
The brazen shoplifter attempted to make off with the stolen goods from the store, but the stores staff was on his case and in hot pursuit. Crown Heights Shomrim was called and stayed with the man nearby until the police arrived. The man was caught with the items still on him and admitted to the theft.
“A fast response by our volunteers in collaboration with responding @NYPD71Pct officers results in one subject under arrest for shoplifting from a local supermarket,” Crown Heights Shomrim wrote on Twitter with the hashtag #CurbingCrime.
The thief was placed in cuffs and will now have his hands full with legal issues and paperwork instead of stolen merchandise.
