A synopsis of yesterday in Crown Heights

B”H there isn’t much happening on the crime front in Crown Heights but when there is, it’s all out and all at once.

Yesterday at about 2:30pm a Bochur’s van was broken into in broad daylight, and the perpetrator took quarters!!! That’s all just some pocket change. Then he later proceeded roaming around our neighborhood looking into cars and even eyeing houses, but thank g-d he didn’t strike again.

Then at 9:00pm there was a shooting incident on Eastern Parkway and Tory Avenue, the police have been really quiet about the nature of the incident, all we can say is there were no Yidden involved, although this took place a mere 2 houses away from the very large Jewish building and just down the block for Chovevia Torah – Lubavitcher Yeshiva.

Then immediately after that, about 6 police cars went rushing to 770 and arrested an individual, we have no details as to the nature of the arrest.

At this time I would like to warn the people of this community, do not leave anything in your car that has any value (even an empty can of soda) in view, and if you were a victim of a brake-in please report the incident to the Police and Shomrim which can be reached at (718) 774-3333
