Two kids hit on the way home from minyan

Two kids on the way home from Oholei Torah where they daavened maariv on Friday night, were hit by a car as they were crossing Eastern Parkway at the Brooklyn Avenue intersection. Both suffered minor injuries, (BH there were no broken bones, just bruises and soreness), they were taken to King County Medical Center by Hatzalah.

Apparently they were crossing the street to the 770 side of the Parkway, as the car [a black Acura] was turning onto Eastern Parkway from Brooklyn Avenue while the driver was allegedly on his cell phone, and hit the boys.

They were both released from the hospital Friday midnight.

On Friday night sometime after 3:00am the ice cream store “Nosh World” located [for those of you that don’t know] on Kingston Ave. between Crown St. & Montgomery St., had been broken into by an unknown number of thief or thieves, which was very similar to the robbery at Kol-Tuv in a number of ways.

The thieves cut the gate and then broke the glass door and frame to gain entry to the store, then proceeded to emptying out the 2 cash registers and took a few bags containing money from the Tzedaka Pushkas that are near the registers. The “interesting” part of this robbery was that the phone cards that Nosh World sells, are hidden at night in one of the freezers and the thief knew exactly where that was, as it didn’t seem that he tossed the place searching for valuables, and took that [which in itself is valued at over $500 worth of calling cards] and the contents of the of the cash register [which had not been emptied before Shabbos].

The points of similarity between this robbery and the one at Kol-Tuv was the way the gate was cut, the time it had been broken into, the apparent knowledge of the area and layout of the store and the location of the valuables. The car service next door was not disturbed.
