Description

The Los Angeles Fire Department has released four surveillance videos of an unidentified arson suspect breaking into Temple Israel of Hollywood early Thursday morning. In one of the videos, the suspect is wearing flip-flops as he trespasses on the synagogue property. Watch below.

LAFD released the videos of the suspect, who is still at large, to its YouTube channel.

Early on Thursday morning, April 14, in what Los Angeles Fire Deparment officials are calling an arson attempt, someone broke into Temple Israel of Hollywood (TIOH) and set a small fire in a classroom on the second floor. The fire was extinguished before LAFD arrived at the scene, at 8 a.m. Police removed evidence from the scene in a brown paper bag, but would not disclose the contents. There were no reported injuries, and a Los Angeles Police Department official on the scene described the damage to the synagogue as minimal.
