After this bizarre incident the woman got home, which was just a few blocks away, and called 911 to file a complaint and fill out a police report regarding this attempted stroller mugging, the officers that responded listened to the woman’s story and concluded that they cannot file a report since this incident “was to far in the past” and the “she should be happy with the way it ended”. It’s important for you to know that the police must file a report for every and any incident that had taken place, due to the fact that if you do not file the report it’s as if the crime never happened.
Attempted Mugging Of A Stroller – Where Will It End?
This past Monday at around 5:00 in the afternoon a woman was walking home pushing a stroller with her child in it, when a car pulled up next to her and demanded her stroller. This bizarre incident took place at the intersection of Union St and Albany Ave, the car which had 2 occupants a male driver and a female passenger, while the woman was waiting for the light to change the car pulled up alongside her and made the demand she pick up her child and leave the stroller, at which point the woman began to write down the cars license plate number. Upon noticing this the would be muggers began to speed off, during which they swerved in the direction of the woman who had to jump out of the way to avoid getting hit by the car.

Another thing is that there were allegations floating around over the last few years that the NYPD was “sweeping incidents under the rug” to try and maintain a lower statistical crime rate, well not to say that this is what happened here, but with our recent severe spike in crime one may never really know.

The cups once convinced me not to report an attempted crime. I can’t believe I fell for their baloney.
Shalom achshav!

Thank g-d and Mayor Bloomber for 311. It exists for a reason and from my experience it seems to work.

According to law the incident can still be reported. The victim should go to the 71st and try to file again if she has problems, she should seek the attention of precinct inspector.

Let Moshe Rubashkin put half the time into getting on the police departments case to stop crime as he does trying to force these “elections” (if you can call it that) down every body’s throats the police would do something and crime would go down. And don’t even think about calling for a peaceful demonstration in front of the precinct because he will come out against it!

ugh, thats a terrible story! this neighborhood is filled with such filth its disgusting. low life goyim!
not from around here.....
I don’t get it !! What would have happened if she did not start writting the plate #?, they may have attempted to harm here. She did a great job of scaring them off.
The police should have written the report and all the info, if they tried this once they will try it again. Hmmmm… Crime Prevention… !!!

This happens all the time. Even when you do file a police report, it often "disapears"! This happened to me once, on a robery and caused me great difficulty in making an insurance claim.
FED UP CROWN HEIGHTSER
THE POLICE ARE AVAILABLE FOR TICKETS BUT NOT FOR ALL THE CRIMES IN OUR AREA, HOW STRANGE JUST LIKE THE RABBONIM, HERE BUT NOT HERE, IN A SENSE OF STRAIGHTENING THE ISSUES PLAGUING OUR COMMUNITY
trouble
Who was the officer ???
Was a complaint filed with CCRB or the CPR board ?
Can we have a discription of the perps and car?
Strollers what-s next?
Will she report this to higher office?
This is becoming really sick. We need to step up on our Shomrim details. Maybe with community support we can get all their mobile units patrolling at all hours.
r v
u must demand from the police a report .ask the shomrim for help if u need
Sharks Smell Blood in CH
Doesn’t everyone realize why we now have such a big surge in Crime?
How can anyone imagine a women being mugged, to rob her of her Stroller, on Albany and union St, in Broad Daylight at 5:00pm?
Sharks Smell Blood, and as a result, they then, Attack.
Besides, the Stroller Robbery incident it B’Hashgacha Protis, a very clear sign form above:
The Baby in the Stroller is our Future generation and "robbing the stroller" represents Rubashkin robbing us of our respect for Rabbonim, via his corrupt elections, which makes a mockery of the Rav who allows him to get away with it and "totally undermines our support system of the future generations" = Robbing the Stroller.
Our sages always say that we get all of our Brachos (Blessings) via True Sholom (Peace).
Thank you Rubashkin for all the Machlokes you made to divide the community, so sharply with your corrupt elections.
Toshav Hashchunah
Instead of having "CHJCC" employees making phone calls to homes AND BUSINESSES in Crown Heights to "get out the vote" why don’t we have the employees of the CHJCC actually do the jobs they are being paid to do, namely taking these incidents to the police, taking down the documentation, forwarding it to the appropriate officials in the City, etc.
People!!! Report all these incidents to the Council. Let’s hear from Rubashkin and the Vaad on at least a bi-monthly basis and see what’s happening to the quality of life in Crown Heights. We need a fully functioning Council, not a political machine for someone’s personal needs.
mother in ch
I think something bad is going to happen in crown heights this summer. It feels like 1991, its all going to boil over and we only have our self to blaim, we are to busy fighting among our self, our so called leaders should all be re-called loke in califonia and we should have people in the vad who fight crim not suck up to political hacks.
Stunned
This is the most bizzare thing I have ever heard. That woman had guts! I walk around all the time with my two children in the stroller. Those people could have had a gun or something. I would have done the same thing though. The Police need to obviously do more. We have been saying this over and over again. That woman needs to go down to the Police Station and demand to file a complaint. She has the lisence plate number for G-d’s sake! They can’t say that this incident "was too in the past". If she goes down to the Pct., I am right behind her. I will give them hell. They are being as retarted as this whole incident.
Report on TV
Did anyone see the special last night on FOX 5 regarding the crime in Corwn Heights and how the police are doing nothing to stop it?
They also showed how the Jews are taking matters into their own hands since the police are doing next to nothing.
I think the piece was great and I would appreciate any comments.
LOOPY
Maybe street posters with a photo of NYPD Commissioner Kelly and Chanina Sperlin will scare off muggers!
m.a.
The location of this crime is pretty scary. I hope that this will be immediately addressed, that especially that block should be safe…VDL
chaya
somehow, whenever im in CH i see policemen around all the time giving tickets and just standing around! maybe they should pay close attention to whats happening around them and then things like that wont happen anymore. also, that the police said that they couldnt file a complaint because it was too much in the past. thats crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shlomie
Moshe Rubashkin and compnay have plenty of energy. Why can’t they harness this energy to help the shchuna? Imagine if MR & company persisted in hounding the police and city officials like he has been doing recently to the commnity to vote and like he has been after Rabbi Shwei.
Imagine if Yossi Brook strated writting his letters to Mayor Bloomberg and the police instead of sullyinfgour houses with them.
The police and city officials wouold have no choice but to listen.
However MR, YB and AO have more important priorities in life. One thing is for sure the safety of the community does not mean anything to them.
saw report on tv
i saw that special on 9 news, im so glad its finally caught the eyes of the media (at least one station anyways) its was a great report altho the 71st precinct refused to comment (surprise surprise) M. Rubashkin mentioned that they are planning on putting up security cameras in our area. i hope thats true and not something to say to make believe hes doing something. someone has to take this matter seriously b/f G-d forbid more tradegy occurs
Videos cameras
As usual Rubashkin is ridding on somone else’s coat-tails. The people who daven in Getlz’s shul are raisng their own money to put up these cameras.
It has NOTHING to do with Moshe Rubashkin.
un happy resident

The way the police have been around here lately those "security cameras" will probably end up being red light cameras.
Webby:
I think you should post the license plate number. (did she get the whole thing?)
SAM
IF PEOPLE KEEP CALLING CCRB THE COP ARE GOING TO COUNTINUE WRITE THE JEWISH COMMUNITY TICKETS AND OTHER STUFF.
MISHAGAS
i agree with ELECTANEW VAAD let moshe rubashkin spend his MIND and MONEY were it is N-E-E-D-E-D
huh?
Sam: they already write tickets for the wrong reason. Continue? there was never any indication they would stop in the first place. Don’t make that stop you from reporting injustice.
He who takes Goetz!
Remember Bernard Goetz? In 1984, 4 thugs tried to Rob him the on number 2 train (which coincidently runs through crown heights to Flatbush). He pulled out a gun a shot them all. Bernard has his own website: http://www.berniegoetz.net

You CAN get a gun legally! some tips:
Some federal rules for buying guns.
1. In order to be eligible to buy a gun you must…
* Not be indicted for a crime that could potentially get you a sentence of a year or more, if you are convicted.
* Never have been convicted for a crime that could have gotten you a sentence of a year or more, even if the judge gave you a lesser sentence.
* Not be a fugitive from justice.
* Not be an illegal drug user.
* Not have been legally determined by a court to be mentally defective.
* Not have been dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces.
* Not be an illegal alien.
* Never have renounced your U.S. citizenship.
* Not be under a restraining order for domestic violence, stalking, or making threats.
* Never have been convicted for a crime of domestic violence.
2. An eligible person can buy guns only for himself or as a GIFT for another eligible person. You can’t buy a gun for someone who gives you the money to buy it with. You can’t accept money as remuneration afterward, either.
Note: When you go to the gun store, you’ll be asked to show your driver’s license to prove your identity. Showing false ID is probably against the law. The seller will either have you fill out an ATF F Form 4473, or he will do it for you. The form asks you to confirm that you’re eligible to buy a gun and that you’re not buying it for somebody that you’re not supposed to be buying it for. Don’t be surprised if, despite your having a spotless record for obedience to the law and a reputation for being a wonderful, charitable fellow, the government puts a DELAY on whether or not to give you permission to buy the gun. It happens all the time, though I’m not sure why. The delay is usually for just a few days.

to un happy resident wrote I just called 311 also they took my info and this is my complaint number

Look all you "know it alls." Moshe Rubashkin has put more of himself into Crown Heights than you’ll ever kn02. We call it mesiras nefesh. Why shouldn’t the Getzel crowd help out? Do you realize how many thousands of dollars Moshe has raised to help the needy? And Moshe cannot make the NYPD spin around on a dime, not even the fool Sperlin could (he only wanted for his ego). Moshe cannot make Bloomberg or the Police do whatever he asks, and believe me, I live on President and I see what he tries to do.

The police are cooking the books to make the 71 look good. They are losing these reports on purpose. If they care as little as this then they should move to Long Island, and let private militias maintain the peace
safety freak
writing down the license # might have been a good way to scare off the mugger but HELLO- didnt the lady have any concern of protecting her child???? the first thing i would have done was to take out the baby. even if it would have looked like she was giving up the carriage- the babys safety is more important – then write down the #! i think this would be smart if everyone keeps these things in mind – chas vsholom we shouldnt have these things going on anymore but you always have to be safe.

Please do not get your hopes up with 311. Who are they referring you to? The Civilian Complaint Board or whatever it is called? 311 is a call centre that exists only to provide employment to usuless Affirmative Action hires. I could not even get the Sanitation Department to move an abandoned car via 311 – I probably need to learn Ebonics so that they understand me better!
BOY
CALL 311
huh?
why would the guy want a stroller?? he didnt ask for like $ or jewelery?? weird.
BOY
WHEN WILL THIS END
trouble
TALK IS CHEAP!!!
Why dont we all go out there and do something. If you cant or dont want to join CH shomrim, just get some friends together (take your cell phone) and walk/drive around the streets and help put a stop to this insanity!!!
(the more people that call CCRB or 311 the more pressure it places on the city to do some thing)
vB
to HUH this is weird
311?
what exactly IS 311??
Itzik_s
311 is a city complaint, assistance and comments hotline. They transfer you to the appropriate department, or give you the number for same.
I guess cop complaints go to the CCRB or whatever it is called.
CM
To He who takes Goetz!:
I was SHOCKED to read your letter. Killing people, chalila, is definitely NOT the solution to our problems. I understand that it is for safety, but… Should mothers carry guns too, or just men on their way to shul?
Imagine how the Jewish community would look if everyone went and bought a gun! (Which, of course, is not possible, because: a) who has spare money to buy guns?; b) Chas V’Shalom a gun can be unintentionally or mistakenly used….)
Besides which, man is not G-d. G-d, and only G-d, decides who lives and who dies. Just look at what happens when man decides to pass judgement himself…chalila.
