A Jewish man visiting Crown Heights from France was robbed Motzei Shabbos near Kingston Ave and Lincoln PL at approximately 7:00PM.
The victim was returning to his hotel room from 770 when he was approached and surrounded by 2 perpetrators who then grabbed his necklace off his neck. After a short scuffle, they managed to snatch his Rolex watch as well.
The perpetrators then fled the scene via a vehicle that was parked nearby.
The victim’s friend called Shmira and 911. Police officers took a report, and Shmira members worked to obtain security footage from nearby establishments.
The car is described only as a late model BMW or Lexus – dark-colored SUV, driven by a black male approximately 200 LBS wearing a light brown jacket together with a passenger wearing a light colored bandana, with white stripes on his jacket and pants.
There is an increase of crime in the area. Please remain extremely alert and be aware of your surroundings. Remember, being busy on your phone can cause a serious distraction. In case of any emergency, don’t hesitate to call 911 and Shmira at 718-221-0303, 24/7.

It seems that our elected leaders ( weren’t elections supposed to take place every two years-this is a definite breach of the JCC’s charter and by-laws ) feel that the half-dozen or so criminal incidents that have taken place over the past few weeks do not warrant a full fledged press conference / photo op, and they are waiting for the big one to happen ( Chas Veshalom ). In the interim, we are all in imminent danger, and we do not see any increased police presence on our streets. Wake up Yidden.!! Anti- semitism is on the rise, and… Read more »
Well. There is no fan-fare no photo opp. No glory so yeah why should there be any leaders community activists or Rabbis. It’s a freakin joke. I am living in crown heights 20+ years (sad to admit) never believed in them never supported them or followed their requests. Their all full of it. Reminds me when the Rebbe would scream about this. But yup sane ol bs
items. Their getaway car was a late model BMW or Lexus dark SUV and they recognized the victim’s Rolex and necklace as valuable. Maybe connected to big time crime racketeers?

This is out of control.
I will do an extra mitzvah today to hasten Moshiach’s arrival. At this point, the geulah is our only hope for a brighter future.
Hashem, please bring moshiach!
Crown Heights is on a downward spiral.
