Remember that story two weeks ago where that cute little Hasidic child in Boro Park had his electric scooter snatched from him?
Well, thanks to the persistent work of the NYPD and the Boro Park Shomrim Safety Patrol, the thieving thug has thankfully been arrested.
Arrested is 59-year-old Daniel Ufares of Central Avenue in Brooklyn. He is facing man robbery charges and criminal possession of stolen property.
Boro Park Shomrim tells YWN that the incident happened just after 7:00PM on July 7, 2021, when Daniel Ufares allegedly walked up to the 7-year-old boy on 36 Street and 12th Ave, blocked the boys path, and grabbed the scooter.
Shomrim worked tirelessly on obtaining security camera footage, and tracing the suspects steps both before and after the robbery. Police were able to identify the suspected based on the footage provided by Shomrim, and the man was taken into custody by the NYPD Warrant Squad this morning.
He has at least one prior arrest.

In collaboration with community leader Yanky Meyer and Yonasan Schwartz, the owner of Toys 2 Discover, we were able to provide the young victim a brand new scooter and helmet for him to enjoy! pic.twitter.com/lIXYHmgvaP

Thank u shomrim.
Did he have the other scooter?
If so, what’s going to happen to it?
Great! But what happens when he gets let out after a week by our awesome justice system?
I’m sorry that innocent little child had to suffer through that. I myself was a victim of that horrendous low life man. My mother was engaged to him over 10 years ago, he is not my father. That man is unstable and evil. He has stolen over 2 thousand dollars i had saved up over time for my daughters first birthday and my down payment on my first apartment and splurged on drugs and etc. I hate him forever. I wish he stays in jail where he belongs. He’s screwed up guy and has been in jail before for a little over 25 years for murder.
