Package theft has become a serious problem in the Crown Heights Jewish community. Find out what steps you can take to protect yourself and your neighborhood from these crimes.

In recent weeks, the Crown Heights Jewish community has experienced a surge in package theft. These crimes, which have been perpetrated by individuals from the African American community, have caused significant hardship for the victims, both in terms of inconvenience and financial loss. It is imperative that this trend be brought to an end as soon as possible.

To safeguard against package theft, there are various measures that can be taken. One effective strategy is to install security cameras, which can deter would-be thieves and provide valuable evidence in the event of a crime. Another option is to utilize package delivery lockers, which offer a secure location for packages to be dropped off. Additionally, simply being more cognizant of when packages are being delivered can help to prevent theft.

In addition to taking precautions, it is essential for community members to report any suspicious activity to the authorities. If a package thief is witnessed in the act of stealing, it is crucial to immediately call Shmira at 718-221-0303 or 911. By working together and being vigilant, the Crown Heights Jewish community can effectively combat this issue and ensure that all members feel safe and secure.
