Thanks to the outstanding work by the Ramapo Police Detectives and members of Chaverim Of Rockland, suspects wanted for the Motzei Shabbos attack on Route 306, have been taken into custody, MonseyScoop is reporting. Sources tell YWN that the suspects are from New Jersey, and were arraigned on Wednesday morning. A press conference is scheduled for 3:00PM. As YWN had reported, Police launched a hate crime investigation after three members of the Orthodox Jewish community were either shot with BB guns or hit with eggs in Monsey over the weekend. On Saturday night, eggs were thrown at a woman pushing a stroller along Route 306. The eggs did not hit her, but she was scared enough to contact the police. In another case, two women were walking when police say a BB gun was fired in their direction. One of them was hit several times, but she was not injured. The third incident involved a male victim in the same area. “A male was walking on West Maple Avenue near Route 306,” Ramapo police Det. Sgt. Mike Higgins said. “We have video of him being struck with several projectiles, we believe either a BB gun or some kind of pellet gun.” The Ramapo Police Department did not release the video, but investigators did put out photos of a white Ford F-150 pickup truck that was apparently used by the suspects.
