(Brooklyn, NY) Fifty-five-year-old Arthur Jack of Rochester, who received a warrant for his arrest after being accused of burglarizing some items from Grace Lutheran Church in Rochester on Sunday afternoon has now been arrested. According to the Rochester Borough Police Department, Jack was taken into custody by the NYPD early yesterday morning. Investigators confirm that his arrest came following a brief standoff along subway tracks. The NYPD stated that community members chased Jack to the D-Line train station in Brooklyn where he jumped onto the tracks. WPXI was told that Jack entered a “commercial establishment” yesterday and stole about $285 from a locked donation box and a report from the New York Post expressed that he took that money from the Congregation Shaarei Zion of Bobov. A report says this is not the first time Jack has been in trouble in New York City because in 2012, that report expressed that he broke into a Flatbush synagogue and stole a bottle of vodka and scotch. Additionally, the New York Post noted that Jack spent 10 years in a correctional institute in New York for other burglaries after having 17 previous arrests. 2023 was when Jack was released. Jack will be extradited to Beaver County. Church leaders of Grace Lutheran Church in Rochester confirm Jack stole offerings for a soup dinner and rummaged through gift donations that were meant to be donated to the Salvation Army and Glade Run.
