Shomrim Assists in Apprehending Known Suspect for Stealing Tefilin

On Tuesday morning the Shomrim hotline received a call from a person that he noticed his Talis and Tefilin were stolen from his vehicle overnight.

Shomrim volunteers showed up at around 7am and started searching for cameras in the area of 12th Avenue where the victim’s vehicle was parked overnight.

After an intense search of multiple cameras they saw footage of the suspect breaking into the vehicle and removing the Talis and Tefilin. The victim then proceeded to make a police report for his stolen items.

Shomrim volunteers recognized the suspect as a known thief in the neighborhood and they followed him via cameras until he was seen entering his home with the items in hand. All information was given over to police and at around 4:30pm the suspect was caught red-handed leaving the home with the items in hand.

Thankfully it was still intact and was returned to its rightful fully owner, while the suspect was placed under arrest by the NYPD.
