Attempted burglary in Crown Heights
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:00am: A bochur sitting on his friends’ porch, across the street from his house on Balfour Place, noticed two African American teens approaching his house. They opened the gate surrounding his porch and one of them crept onto the porch and while still crouching, peered into the window. He turned and stated to his accomplice “the mom’s home, we can’t go in now”. Hearing this the bochur began crossing the street toward his house. The teens noticed the bochur and began to flee. The bochur started chasing the teens and called Crown Heights Shmira however he lost sight of them near the corner of Lefferts and Kingston Avenues.
Shmira responded within seconds and met the complainant at the corner and got a description and direction of flight. The information was transmitted over the radio so responding members could look out for them. One of the members spotted the teens on East New York Avenue heading towards Brooklyn Avenue. Numerous Shmira members took turns following the teens from a distance in unmarked cars.
Shmira flagged down a Police car and the Officers approached the teens. A Sergeant was called and after thoroughly questioning the both complainant and the teens, he decided to arrest one of the teens and charge him with criminal trespassing. The Sergeant then went with the complainant to his house to better understand what had taken place and to add any missing details to his report.

these minors need to be kept busy during the summer.
The mayor should have fun programs for kids like these to keep them off the street and out of trouble.
cause they are probably NOT BAD kids they just are bored and looking for some excitement.

Can Bloomberg make any money from a program like this?
what? NO?
wait for the next mayor maybe youll have some better luck.
