Brooklyn, NY – New York Republican State Committee Chairman Ed Cox has just informed Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) that an anonymous donor has offered an additional $25,000 to the existing reward money being offered in connection with last Friday’s arson and hate crime on Ocean Parkway which saw several vehicles torched and burned in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. Graffiti, including swastikas and the letters KKK and SS, was found sprayed on and around the cars and nearby benches.

This now brings the reward money for credible information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible to $56,000, including $25,000 which was raised by Mr. David Ben-Horeen, publisher of The Jewish Voice, as well as other leaders of the community; $4,000 which was put forth by the ADL; and a $1,000 contribution each from both Councilman David Greenfield and Senator Marty Golden.
“I am so grateful to the NYPD who have been working around the clock to solve this hate crime,” remarked Hikind. “They have spared no effort in attempting to put the community at ease by finding the perpetrator(s) responsible for this heinous crime and bringing them to justice. I am also incredibly thankful to Mr. Cox and his donor for their support. I am hopeful we will have a break in the case soon.”
Anyone with information is urged to call the NYPD tip hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). All calls will be kept confidential.
Let’s all thank the doner. This is a big mitzvah. Should hashem send him hatzloch.
someone somewhere must have heard or seen something. these animals also like to brag. please come forward. the community you will be protecting is your own and may save you and yours as well!
wouldnt be supprised if they catch some occupied wall street loonies, who believe the jews control the banks & the Mossad was behind 9/11.
Why did such a thing happen on a street thats busy 24 hours. Maybe its a wake up call frome Heaven for the community there to dress more tzniosdik and not drive German cars. A Jew who has some pride would never buy such a vehicle. Its like driving around with a swastica. Anti semitism rises its ugly head when Jews assimilate and imitate the secular culture. Its time to dress with long skirts and not cutout tops.
I fail to see your connection between burning cars and tznios dressing…I’m sure everything according to you is a wake up call to wear long skirts!
