A frantic call to Shomrim and a lightning-fast response led to the arrest of an intruder who broke into a Jewish home in Crown Heights. The mother and her children were at home at the time of the incident.

“At approximately 5:30 a.m., our volunteers responded to a frantic call from a husband who was out of town,” Crown Heights Shomrim wrote. “He reported seeing an intruder inside his home while his wife and children were asleep.”

Shomrim volunteers responded swiftly and they found the intruder still inside the home.

Officers from the NYPD’s 77th Precinct arrived and placed the man under arrest.
