Report by Shmira volunteer patrol group of Crown Heights:
Shmira is reminding the community to be alert after couple of incidents occurred at Lefferts Park in Crown Heights.
The incidents began approximately a month ago, which included young children getting harassed. It then progressed to them being threatened, and then it led to a child getting assaulted.
The latest incident occurred on Thursday June 8, approximately 6:00PM. The same group of trouble makers returned to the Park, grabbed 2 briefcases and ran off.
Crown Heights Shmira received a couple of calls notifying them of the incident. While Shmira members began searching for the suspects, one of the briefcases was found on a nearby street.
A short while later, Shmira members located one of the suspects in the surrounding area. As Police quickly arrived, Shmira brought the victims and multiple witnesses to identify the suspect.
He was positively identified and detained. He soon admitted of stealing the briefcase and told the Police exactly where it was located. The briefcase was recovered and returned to the owner.
Shmira is working with the NYPD 71st Precinct to arrange a full time Police Officer to be stationed at the park during day time hours.
Shmira is reminding the community – as the summer is approaching, crime is on the rise. Please be alert, pay attention to your surroundings and do not hesitate to call CH Shmira anytime at 718-221-0303 and 911.
If kids aren’t safe at the playground and cops don’t care. Move.
Not wanting to sound racist doesn’t make it not racist. Here’s how it works, if there’s no reason to mention the skin color (I.e. You are not describing a suspect at large) then don’t mention it. If by “new trend” you mean that now all “Caucasians” are suspects (like blacks are to some) then that’s racist. A crime but one person doesn’t mean you get to judge others who share similar skin color. I’m not saying you have to c’v be so liberal that you think that these goyim are good people and not criminals just that you shouldn’t lump… Read more »
Him and 2 others attacked me over 2 months ago it’s about time they caught them
Is the guy who was arrested Jewish
Actually, the suspect is female and Hispanic. Stop generalizing along racial lines with “sociological” predictions and you won’t be called “racist.”
I saw it happening, by the time I even thought of calling Shmira, they already showed up. They were professional and calmed everyone down and began to search. I think they caught one kid by Winthrop or something like that.
1) there is no advantage in pointing out the real or imagined evil in anything, especially whole groups of people. This abundant in the Sichois Koidesh regarding the opposite of “good speech” and is treated leHalacha in the Sefer Chafetz Chaim. 2) At this moment there are those who define a racist as anyone who is, can be mistaken for, or associates with light-skinned people of Eurasian origin. Hassidic Jews fall outside this classification. As long as we retain our traditional grooming (beards, short hair for men, wigs and plain makeup for women) modest and conservative clothing, and separation from… Read more »
This is getting totally out of hand. The park is where my children can go and have fun after school and most definitely be safe.
Thank you very much Shmira for your out standing work in the community, in the past year you guys have been doing a great job, we ask you to keep it up, and only go higher and higher in your holy work.
Thank your again!!!
My son also stopped going because of him. Last month he started a fight with a 12 year old and threatened to stab him. The boy somehow got it on video and sent to the police. So the police should have enough to take action.
About 13-16 ,he once came over to me when I was sitting on the floor and the a stout up and he ran away because I was toller then him
It takes a month to find and arrest a thug who is a threat to children? And where is he now? Back with his mama?? Whereis partner? Can’t get the animal to lead them to the other thug who apparently is still on the loose?
Something is very wrong with the NYPD and NYS law makers who allow this kind of crime to go on. MZ
My comment was made as a identification observation. Also to point out this was the not the victim, and to make aware there are changing dynamics in the area to be aware of.
My post was not intended to be racist, but rather to make an identification observation. I believe that was necessary to make Yidden (again not meant to be racist) aware of a new phenomena here.
Was walking right past lefferts park when this teenager comes out from nowhere in the park screaming and charging at us while his friends were laughing….

Pointing out on obvious fact that everyone can see from the picture is not ‘racist’ just because pointing out such facts trigger, leftists who want to pretend that nothing ever has anything to do with anything racial.
I want to give a big shout out to Shmira who were there right away to help and keep our kids safe!!! They were dedicated and stayed until the end and made sure the situation was resolved . Thank you very much for your dedication and hard work to keep us safe!
How old is this kid?
Children have every right to enjoy the park, tiny playground in crown heights!
The city should provide protection for them from 9-5. ABSOLUTELY!
These thugs do not deserve the air they breath.
My son stopped going to the park because of him. He along with another boy or two would harass his group of friends and literally not let them play
Racist comments don’t become not racist just because you say Caucasian instead of white.
if that’s the perpetrator in the picture he looks caucasian. Possibly a new trend to look out for in the neighborhood.
