Arrest made? He will be released faster than you can blink. What a joke.
It’s useless, he will be out tom.
Why did this piece of garbage lowlife, decide to concentrate on Borough Park, when he lives far from that area? Also, what value could the scooter have been to him?
Is he out yet? Is he illegal? Oh wait xant ask that question otherwise I’m a whitesupremacust and KGB/DOJ will look for me
Thank you goes to Shomrim & the NYPD.
Once again, Shomrim’s involvement has made the job of the NYPD that much easier.
In custody and then out right away
