Crown Heights Riots Anniversary

Last night at around 8:00PM Shomrim received a call for a missing child, immediately the entire force sprang to life and within seconds there were 20 vehicles canvassing the entire CH area.
During the search Hatzalah was called in along with members of the Boro Park Shomrim and the local Police Precinct was called in as well, after about 45 minutes into the search the Police called in the helicopter to aid the search, and that wasn’t enough either, the Shomrim K9 Unit was called in as well.
Around an hour and a half into the search a yellow cab pulled up to the families house, where Shomrim had set up a mobile command post, and out of the cab the cleaning lady got out with the missing child and just walked up to the house like nothing happened, the woman immediately was bombarded with questions and suddenly forgot the little English she knew, the police the called in an officer that understands Spanish, and questioned her as to what had happened. She was supposed to go to the mailbox down the block and back, a task of no more then 10 minutes even with walking a 3 year old child, but for some reason decided to go to the main post office, then the child got tired so they got into a cab. A sketchy story at best.
15 Lubavitchers barricaded themselves in the bunker of a shul and threatened to set themselves on fire in protest of the disengagement, but after negotiating for about 5 hours with the IDF, the 300 soldiers surrounding the bunker went in, and removed them.
