(Adnkronos) – London police are investigating several incidents of apparent vandalism against public menorahs in various areas of the English capital. This is reported by the Jewish News, according to which law enforcement could attribute the damage to the Jewish candelabras to hate crimes. According to the newspaper, incidents in Notting Hill, Muswell Hill, and West Hampstead are under investigation.
Metropolitan Police Superintendent Owen Renowden stated: “This has been a tremendously difficult week for the Jewish community following the terrorist attack in Australia last weekend, and I am aware that these incidents of hate crime will cause further pain and distress.” “We are taking these reports with the utmost seriousness and will update them as soon as possible,” he added.
