Police looking for suspect who stole mezuzahs from London restaurant and synagogue

Authorities in London are investigating a potential antisemitic hate crime, after a masked man was seen tearing mezuzahs from the entrances of a kosher restaurant and a Chabad synagogue on Saturday.
The suspect, dressed in a hooded jacket, approached a kosher restaurant in West Hampstead and ripped the mezuzah from its doorpost just before 7 a.m. on Saturday.
Shortly afterward, he arrived at nearby Chabad synagogue, where he also wrenched the mezuzah from the entrance and pocketed it before walking away.
Both incidents were caught on security cameras. Police have yet to locate the suspect.
