A Frum man was allegedly robbed at gunpoint in Lakewood, police sources confirm to TLS.
Police received a call around 5 PM in reference to the robbery that occurred in the Southern portion of Lakewood.
According to preliminary reports, the man was in or near his vehicle when he was approached by three men, one who brandished a gun, and proceeded to rob him. They reportedly made off with an iPad.
The suspects, described as black men, fled the area.
Authorities are investigating.

BREAKING 7:00 PM: Sources tell TLS three suspects are in custody in connection with the armed robbery.
According to sources, the Lakewood Police Department’s Detective Bureau was able to identify the vehicle within about 30 minutes after the robbery, and tracked it down to a location in Toms River.
The suspects were taken into custody without incident.
Why does it matter that it was a frum man? Would you say it was a Muslim man or a Catholic man?
that’s racism! you said the perp was black!, I’m going to call shady Sharpton and the love squad to make a protest!
An Ipad ???????? it takes 5 seconds to track the location.
@lkwddet is 100% right. Theresa FIND ME setting on Apple products and you track them within 5 feet in 2 seconds. Brilliant perps will now have an Armed Robbery charge on their record their whole life. For a $399 iPad.
Pathetic.

If this was a Muslim blog for the Muslim community ,it would definitely say that it was a Muslim man.
Since I assume that the owners of this blog and 98 or 99 per cent of its readers are frum people, it’s just an interesting way to note that the victim was someone in that community whom many of the readers may know . Nothing sinister or racist about that.
You are 100 percent correct.
And what is the exact location?
Don’t’ worry about it. That is why we have the police.
Another point on writing that he is frum:
Much of the crime in our town comes from people who live in affordable housing communities & 90% of the time, their crime is against their friends & other members of their community. It becomes newsworthy when their crimes spill over to other communities nearby.
(btw – it’s not different than writing that the victim was Latino male etc. which is done all the time)
