Police: Dead Pig Found at NJ Rabbi’s Home in Anti-Semitic Crime
While Jews across the world celebrated the holy Sabbath holiday this weekend, someone placed a dead pig on the doorstep of a New Jersey rabbi’s home. As reported by the NY Post, police said they are looking into the incident as an apparent bias crime.
The dead pig was discovered at a rabbi’s Lakewood home at roughly 7 a.m. on Saturday morning. Investigators have determined that the animal was placed there by someone between midnight and 7 a.m., as per the police. “Currently, we are actively pursuing several leads and hope to bring this to a conclusion very soon,” Lakewood police Capt. Gregory Staffordsmith wrote in an email.
There was no note attached to the frightful find, which was initially reported by the Lakewood Scoop. “At this time, it’s being investigated as a bias crime,” Lakewood police Lt. Leroy Marshall told The Post. As of midday Monday, no arrests had been made in the case. The Marshall declined to identify the rabbi, only saying that it occurred on Treetop Lane and that it is an ongoing criminal investigation. No injuries were reported at the residence, he added.
