A suspect was arrested at around 3 a.m. for breaking into a vehicle and stealing valuable items, thanks to the vigilance of Shomrim volunteers and the quick response of the NYPD.

In the middle of the night, a Shomrim volunteer on patrol noticed a suspicious individual walking through the neighborhood, peering into parked vehicles in search of valuables. Recognizing the signs of a possible break-in, the volunteer immediately alerted other Shomrim volunteers on patrol. Together, they kept a discreet distance, following the suspect block after block without drawing attention.

At around 3:15 a.m., their suspicions were confirmed when the suspect located a vehicle containing expensive items and broke in to steal them. Shomrim promptly notified the NYPD that a theft had just occurred and continued to monitor the suspect until officers arrived.

Thanks to this coordinated effort, the NYPD arrested the suspect and recovered the stolen property.

Shomrim reminds the community never to leave valuable items visible inside vehicles, as they can attract theft and lead to costly losse
