Brooklyn Heights, NY – A career criminal with more chutzpah than sense was busted after stealing from the very Brooklyn Heights synagogue that helped him during times of need, police sources said.

The collar made 30 total arrests for Davis Duvallya, 43, who was first aided by the leaders of Congregation B’nai Avraham several years ago.
As was reported here, Duvallya allegedly tried to break into the house of worship Thursday, but was scared away by a cleaner, police said.
He failed to appear in court July 28 to be sentenced for burglarizing the temple on March 3 and stealing a stereo and a charity box containing roughly $50.
Rabbi Simcha Weinstein called yesterday’s arrest a “relief.”
“I feel angry and betrayed, and I hope he can learn the error of his ways,” he said. “Hopefully, we can put this behind us and celebrate the Jewish New Year with comfort and security.”
