Earlier this week a Bochur who was walking on Eastern Parkway was approached by 2 black men which began walking beside him and told him “don’t make a big fuss, just hand us over the money, we have a gun”, the Bochur who took the risk thinking they didn’t have one, pulled out his cell phone and called 911 as they were standing next to him. The perps immediately fled.
When the Police showed up on scene (within 3 minutes) they took the Bochur around to search for the perps, who had fled into a building, and saw that the building had a rear exit, and had lost them. The detectives then filed a report and gave the Bochur a cell phone number to call in case he sees them again.
Today was that day, the Bochur was walking Eastern Parkway again and spotted one of the muggers, and called the detective who was there instantly and apprehended the suspect (18), who has a prior record.

On the way back to the police station the detectives spotted a black man pushing a wheel chair with a large black garbage bag on it, upon further investigation the police found a brand new high end printer in the bag. When they questioned the suspect where he got it from he said “he had found it in a dumpster and doesn’t remember which one”. They arrested him as well.

great story. keep it up NYPD
media
It looks like all these rising crime rates, bad media reports on the NYPD, and good reporting (we know who to thank for that) of the actual crimes around here, is actualy starting to turn some gears! I’m glad to see that they are starting to do soemthing to make this community a safer place to live, as well let the criminals know that crime is doesn’t have a free ticket anymore around here.
Keep it up NYPD, and webby!!!

Reading this seriously gives me "nachas" in a way… but on the other hand, it freaks me out, its like i was being oblivious about the mugging in CH, not realizing how much there is… funny, i live in ch, but i find out about ch from the website :), Thank you so much for the good work! Thanks for bringing more awareness to ch !
