Shomrim Facilitates Major Bust of “Wholesale” Mail Thief In Crown Heights
by CrownHeights.info
A “wholesale” mail thief, hard at work Tuesday in the Crown Heights area, got the “stamp” and a pair of cuffs this afternoon after the volunteers of Crown Heights Shomrim got involved.
The movie-perfect action began Tuesday morning after a detective form the 71st Precinct notified Shomrim of a vehicle wanted in connection with mail thefts, having stolen large amounts of mail from USPS post boxes in the Crown Heights area.

Having dealt with another near exact incident of mail theft just last week, the volunteers of Crown Heights Shomrim stepped up to the task armed with just a description of the thief and a license plate number. Fast forward just a few hours and Shomrim was able to track down the vehicle used by the thieves.
Thanks to the great collaboration between the NYPD’s 71st Precinct Detectives and the responding Shomrim volunteers, the car was stopped by the detectives on Franklin Ave in Crown Heights. Searching the vehicle, the detectives found a USPS jacket and a large amount of stolen mail.
Needless to say that the thief was placed under arrest and the car impounded by the police.

Just like the fat left in government work around the law by enlisting 3rd party private entities to do their dirty work and then they claim plausible deniability.
Ie. Force social media giants to censor free speech and share non-criminal info on American citizens. Or use schools to force excessive unnecessary vaccines on kids.
We can do the same.
Use private groups to effectively fight crime.
