New York police are searching for a man who broke into a synagogue and drank its liquor.
The NYPD releases images of the man, who appears to be wearing a kippa, and asks for the public’s help identifying him.
In one image, the suspect appears to be toasting a security camera.
The suspect is wanted for burglary. He entered the synagogue “by manipulating the basement door,” the NYPD says.
