Cops step up patrols around some NJ temples after person in ski mask allegedly tries to burn one down with incendiary device, officials and advocates say. Details here:
Police are stepping up patrols in certain areas of New Jersey Sunday after a reported attempted arson attack, one allegedly involving an incendiary device akin to a"Molotov cocktail," at the front door of an Essex County synagogue, according to officials and advocates.
It wasn't immediately clear which temple was supposedly targeted. It is within the network of the Jewish Federation Greater MetroWest NJ, which encompasses Essex, Morris, Sussex, Union and parts of Somerset counties, according to the head of the organization, who tweeted about the incident and said it was purported by someone in a ski mask.
According to Greater MetroWest NJ President David Saginaw, the masked individual ignited and tossed"an incendiary weapon" at the front door around 3 a.m. The device didn't work as intended, Saginaw said, and damage was limited. No injuries were reported. Police in Livingston confirmed the report had been filed and it had enhanced patrols.We are aware of an attempted arson attack on a temple in Bloomfield NJ earlier this morning. As a result we have increased our patrols of our temples and will continue to do so until more information is obtained. If you see anything suspicious, please call us immediately.
