Cars vandalized on Montgomery Street

September 29, 2008 3:46am: Crown Heights Shmira received a call from a concerned resident who saw a suspicious looking man looking into cars on Montgomery between Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues. Shmira members responded and canvassed the area. There were two suspicious males wondering in between cars on Montgomery Street and on Crown Street. Shmira members checked all the vehicles on both blocks confirming that there was no damage on any of the vehicles at the time. Shmira members remained on the block for some time until the suspicious men left and then continued their patrol.

9:30am: Shmira received multiple calls on the emergency hotline about vandalized cars. Between 4:30am and 7:00am last nigh roughly five to ten vehicles were vandalized on Montgomery Street between Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues. While the first caller thought that the perpetrator only wanted his mirrors for parts it soon became obvious that this was not a larceny only outright vandalism. Many cars including one belonging to a Hatzolah member were randomly vandalized. From broken mirrors to hammer shaped dent marks, broken bumpers and shattered headlights.

Shmira is requesting that anyone who was a victim of this vandalism should please file a Police report as soon as possible. Remember if we do not report it, it is as if it never happened.

If you see something suspicious do not wait until after a crime is committed call Shmira immediately at 718-221-0303 24/7
