The Shul 770 Montgomery

This morning [Thursday] at around 5:00am one man was in the Mikvah that is located behind 770 Montgomery (between Albany & Troy) when all of a sudden 2 masked men came bursting into the Mikvah with guns in their hands demanding money form the man, he gave up his money and was not hurt.

Police arrived and took a report and posted one squad car in front of the Shul until later in the day.

A particularly disturbing fact about this incident is these gun toting robbers knew when the Mikvah opens and when to strike. This should be a cause for concern to all members of the community. So we ask of you, tonight is the Police Council Meeting please be there if not to complain, then to just show support. And another thing is if you see anyone or anything suspicious don’t hesitate to call 911 and then immediately after Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7.

    this is terrible.

    maybe they should install a combination lock like they have in the ohel

    Montgomery St. has recently been the scene of a lot
    of crimes lately…
    Maybe this has to do with the closeness to Empire Blvd.
    which is a good fast getaway street…
    This point has to be brought up with the Police & Shmira
    so that extra patrols should be brought on …

    There is no more of a helpless feeling than being robbed nude. I really feel bad for the guy. What a random story.. it’s kinda funny but yet a very concerning story!! Combo lock is best idea!
