A man trying to steal lots of medicine was apprehended by Williamsburg Shomrim, late Monday afternoon.
Sources tell YWN that a manager at the Hatzlacha Grocery located at 414 Flushing Avenue near Skillman Street noticed a suspicious black male walking around the store with a basket full of Tylenol and Advil. The man suddenly ran out of the store with his basket of pain-killers.
Williamsburg Shomrim (WSPU) along with the NYPD were called to respond. Shomrim arrived in seconds followed by the NYPD. By the time they arrived, a large crowd had already gathered on the street and surrounded the suspect, preventing him from leaving.
The man was taken into custody without further incident, along with his full basket of medicine as evidence.

poor guy he wasnt feeling well. He must be very sick.
Charge him “Keifel” on return of medicines as he didn’t voluntarily return the medicine.
In my day this was called “Chaptzem”! Criminals were terrified of Chaptzem!
Way to many pictures of a shoplifter
“Suspicious black male.” why the redundancy?
He wanted to help his Jewish neighbors who were working hard for pesach
