CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Two alert residents on their way home Thursday night spotted a Black male sneaking from porch to porch of Jewish homes on Carroll Street between Troy and Schenectady, the residents immediately called Shomrim and did not confront the perp.
Within moments over 10 Shomrim members responded and surrounded the area from the alleyway and front of one of the homes belonging to Reb Yisroel Shemtov, which he made his way to rear to see if there was anything of value there, but ran into a few members who escorted him to the front of the house.
