Brooklyn man sentenced to prison for burglary at Williamsburg matzah factory
Muntaquim Durant, a 44-year-old Prospect Heights resident, was sentenced last month to two-and-a-half to five years in prison for burglarizing a matzah factory in Williamsburg.
The theft, involving over $94,000 in cash and checks, occurred just weeks before Passover.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced the sentence and emphasized that the crime was a bold infringement on a religious establishment preparing for an important Jewish holiday.
