Boro Park Shomrim’s emergency line rang early in the morning, the caller anxiously reporting of two young men breaking into a car on 42nd Street between 16th and 17th Avenues. Several units immediately sprang into action, hurrying to the location in the murky predawn hours. As the members rolled onto the scene, the two were still in the car, just about to drive off and escape.

The Shomrim members quickly blocked the car in from all directions, and the pair took off running. Units quickly took off chasing the perps, while the police were notified of the break-in. Shomrim remained in foot pursuit of the guys until the NYPD arrived and arrested both for GLA – Grand Larceny Auto.
