Shoplifter Arrested After Eagle Eyed Shomrim Volunteer Catches Him In The Act

by CrownHeights.info

A sharp eyed Crown Heights Shomrim volunteer watched as the man pocketed the merchandise and left the store. He radioed in the theft and within a few minutes the shoplifter was under arrest.

This incident took place Sunday at the Kosher Town store on Rutland and Albany in Crown Heights, which the shoplifter must have thought was a safe place for him to steal. Unfortunately for him, the Crown Heights Shomrim volunteer was alert and ready, and quickly called for another volunteer to follow until the NYPD arrived.

A quick response by the NYPD meant that the thief made it only a few blocks, and he now has to answer to the law for his crimes.
