Wave of Package Thefts and Moped Stolen in Crown Heights
A troubling string of thefts struck Crown Heights over the past week, with multiple incidents caught on camera and shared by Crown Heights Shmira • Full Story, Watch
On Motzei Shabbos, June 1, around 8:45 PM, a package was stolen from a residential building near Lefferts Avenue and Troy Avenue. The thief, seen calmly approaching the entrance, made off with the package in under a minute.
A second theft occurred the next evening, Sunday, June 2, at approximately 8:00 PM, near President Street and Albany Avenue, where a package was similarly taken from a front porch just after dusk.
In a separate incident early last Wednesday morning, near Maple Street and Albany Avenue, surveillance footage shows a suspect stealing a moped and attempting to break into multiple nearby properties before fleeing the scene. The suspect’s actions suggest possible intent to return or knowledge of the area.
Shmira, the local volunteer safety patrol, has been actively monitoring these incidents and is working with residents and authorities to identify the perpetrators. In a statement, a Shmira representative urged residents to remain alert and encouraged anyone with relevant footage or information to come forward.
The community is reminded to secure their packages, lock vehicles, and report suspicious activity immediately.
