FIRST REPORT: 9:40 a.m. [PHOTO] The man responsible for burglarizing multiple homes, has just been arrested and taken into Police custody, TLS has learned. Robert Lewis Fair from Lakewood, was taken at an apartment complex on Kennedy Blvd. without incident. The suspect is wanted for breaking into many Lakewood homes, including one Forest Avenue home at least eight times – with his latest break-in yesterday. (The break-in was not reported upon request).
As reported last week, Fair had a warrant out for his arrest after he was identified on surveillance cameras, set up by LCSW.
Sources tell TLS, that the SWAT team staged in the area of Forest Avenue home, in an attempt to catch the wanted suspect in the act, but he did not show up.
Additional details will be posted when available.
spelling ?? ” was taken arrested at an aprtment complex on Kennedy Blvd” ??
Ok this man is an American. So do we blame all Americans like when an illegal does a crime??? Do we blame his landlord?
hope he is not out on bail ~ to only repeat the same crimes
TLS- Just curious, how is it that you can state “The man responsible for burglarizing multiple homes” when all all news media need to say “alleged” ?
Hakoras Hatov from the entire community is due to R.Aaron Kugielski and all of the LCSW volunteer team for their time and great efforts on this matter. Especial thanks to F.L who stayed up night after night to apprehend the elusive perpetrator and to H. who set up the surveillance .Thanks are alsu due to Meir Lichtenstein, Detective Addison and Chief Lawson for their assistance and professional expertise.
speciail thanks to a.g. who also stayed up nights to catch this guy.
# 4 has a point, at this point he should be referred to as alleged burglar. However our complete trust, respect and admiration for the LPD, and LCSW and our desire for this nightmare to end allow us to predetermine the final verdict. But we still should not jump to conclusions and we should refer to the burglar as alleged.
The purpose of the word “alleged” is just to protect the news outlet from being sued.
Thank you Hashem for the chesed in helping us apprehend this criminal- can you imagine the people that were burglarized eight times – i was terribly upset for them – alleged? – they have pictures of him – Thank you Shomrim for watching night after night and setting up cameras. Thank you Lakewood Police for all your efforts. And I hope that this man will sit in jail for a long time for terrorizing this family and the whole neighborhood.
Great job – thanks PD! How long until he gets out to steal again?
we started seeing small things missing. I decided to buy a camera and put it in a corner of the house. and low and behold! the next day he showed up. I forwarded it to the police dept. Thank you all for the good work.
Why is he “alleged” if there’s clear evidence to support that he’s responsible??
Thank you HK”BH
for taking this man off our streets for long time
In USA, he’s innocent before being proven guilty – ergo, alleged. Let’s hope the authorities have rock-solid evidence that can legitimately be submitted to the court. But if he wasn’t armed – he’ll probably not get more than 5-10 yrs.
Thanks #4. I was about to make the same point. Also, #8, you have no idea what you’re talking about. The term “alleged” is used because in this country you are “innocent until proven guilty” by a jury of your peers. I don’t know what the Mishnah says about it.
That is only for the court, so he get’s a fair trial. It has nothing to do with the press reporting on it or people talking about it! If the video has him doing it then he did it!
He did the crime and hopefully he’ll do the time!
P.S. If you see someone killing someone else do you call the police and say “I, allegedly, saw someone kill a man! I don’t want him to kill, allegedly, again!”
There are innocent people who are incarcerated until proven guilty, like R’Sholom Rubshkin.
I was there I give special thanks to lpd they were running on foot for this guy;)
for all those brilliant ppl who are always making fun of lcsw and all the ppl around town who help out, i hope u never need them but they did a great job here!
The same guy burglarized homes more than 10 years ago. He was then put away for a little while. Hope they keep him longer this time…
to #16
“There are innocent people who are incarcerated until proven guilty, like R’Sholom Rubshkin.”
