Citizen patrol group shares honors with cop for finding missing teen
Their successful effort in finding a yeshiva student from Kensington who went missing for four days earned members of a citizen patrol group and a police sergeant praise and citations from elected officials during a City Hall ceremony.
In a ceremony held on Dec. 19, Councilman David Greenfield (D-Borough Park-Bensonhurst-Kensington), Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein (D-Flatbush), and Council Speaker Christine Quinn honored New York Police Department Sgt. Michael O’Hare and members of Flatbush Shomrim Safety Patrol, a volunteer group, for their efforts in finding Tzvi Stolzenberg, a 17-year-old yeshiva student who went missing for four days following Yom Kippur in September.
Members of the teen’s family including his mother, Nechama Stolzenberg, were also on hand to thank the officer and volunteers for their work.
