Yesterday [Tuesday] there were 7 reports that came into the Shomrim Hotline of people complaining that they had their car broken into. Most reported that the stuff that was in the car were just rummaged thru but hardly anything taken, while others had the window broken and nothing even touched.

All this takes place the very night that our known car thief Derrick [Terrence] Nelson was released from police custody, now we aren’t sure this was all his doing but it’s interesting this all happens the very night of his release. The cars that were broken into were scattered across Crown Heights, on Montgomery & Nostrand, Eastern Pkwy & Brooklyn, President & Albany and on Carroll & Albany. Police reports have been filed (much help they would be…) but you must remember a crime not reported is a crime that didn’t happen.

A number of things we want to recommend, is that you should not leave anything visible in your car, move the stuff over to the trunk if it must stay in your car. And if you see something make sure to call Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 any time of day and any day of the week.

  • it-s not right

    it is very well possable that all this was done by that Nelson fellow and noone could resist suspecting him for all that he has already done……… however I think we should not publicize it on the web and even put a pic of him, if we aren’t sure that it’s him…………….not that I don’t susprct him as the culpret myself……………

    Maybe find out where this character (Nelson) lives
    or hangs out and follow him…
    He will get the message and maybe cool it if he sees
    he is tailed whereever he goes…

    it-s not right:

    All the article is saying is keep an extra eye out, nothing wrong with that.

    And to everyone else:

    Remember what Shomrim did to him? To refresh your memory click on this link: http://www.crownheights.inf

    We caught this guy red handed! We caught him not red handed but proved his guilt! And this hasn’t deterred him! What should we do? Take the law into our own hands? Then we are just as good as he is! (But then we the good citizens have to add auto glass as a monthly expense)

    I totally understand what your saying but it just doesn’t seem right to post a pic of him on………….I dunno……….
