Thief Arrested, Bike Recovered With the Help of Shomrim

by CrownHeights.info

No criminal is safe in Crown Heights if you are determined, and one Crown Heights resident just wasn’t letting her son’s bike be stolen.

The thief thought he could steal a young boy’s bike from a Jewish building this week, but the mother decided enough was enough. Identifying the thief through her building’s surveillance footage she began looking out for him, and today was not the thief’s lucky day.

Catching sight of the thief in the area of her building, the mother contacted Crown Heights Shomrim, pointing out the thief to the responding volunteers and calling the police.

The Shomrim volunteers had an eye on the thief within moments, and after a short wait, the police arrived.

After reviewing the footage and speaking with the mother, the officers approached the suspect and asked to speak with him. Within moments the man had implicated himself and was in cuffs.

The best part of the incident was that the bike was returned to the very happy Jewish boy, intact and ready to be ridden.
