An NYPD helicopter followed a private chopper from Brooklyn to Lakewood, after the helicopter landed in a vacant lot on the corner of Carroll St. and Troy Ave. in Crown Heights, picked up passengers, and took off heading for New Jersey.
According to highly credible sources YWN has been in contact with, the private helicopter received authorization from the JFK control tower to land and take off from the lot in Crown Heights, but the pilot did not notify the NYPD, resulting in the police giving chase.
Footage obtained by The Lakewood Scoop shows the NYPD helicopter landing at the Lakewood Municipal Airport near the private helicopter which had just landed.

NYPD doing their job, pilot not doing his
“According to highly credible sources YWN has been in contact with…”
That’s an unusual qualification. What kind of sources does YWN typically use?
You have to register for flights with the NYPD? What’s that about?
UJM – those that offer kolel support must include 3-4 chopper rides per year, to avoid bitul zman, coming in time for second seder, all l’shem shomayim.
RT, you idiot, the pilot did his job. Notifying NYPD about his flight plans is NOT part of his job and never has been. But now that he knows they would like a heads up he will keep it in mind.
Someone from Crown Heights secretly attending Lakewood or other way around?
