Brooklyn, NY - A petty crook was caught red-handed thanks to a tip from a member of Flatbush Shomrim civilian crime patrol, authorities said.

The volunteer called 911 after spotting Dimitry Kolker, 21, climbing the rear passenger-side window of a 1993 GMC Suburban SUV parked at East 14th Street and Avenue “M” in Midwood, officials say.

Cops caught Kolker in the vehicle, and found a bag of marijuana in his pocket, sources said.

He was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle, attempted petit larceny and drug possession, said a spokesman for DA Charles Hynes.
