A suspect was arrested after shoplifting from a local convenience store, thanks to quick action and coordination between Shomrim volunteers and the NYPD.

The incident began when Shomrim received a hotline call about a disorderly man acting suspiciously in the neighborhood. Volunteers quickly responded and began quietly monitoring his movements.

Shortly after, the man entered a nearby convenience store. He acted suspiciously inside and, after a few minutes, walked out with items without paying. While the store manager contacted Shomrim and the NYPD to report the theft, Shomrim was already one step ahead, closely tracking the suspect’s every move.

Shomrim immediately provided the NYPD with detailed updates on the suspect’s actions and location. Volunteers kept a watchful eye until officers arrived and arrested the suspect.
