The Minneapolis Police Department is actively seeking assistance in identifying two suspects involved in a bias crime committed at Temple Israel on October 8th. In a social media post made by MPD, the department shared images of the two individuals accused of spray-painting threatening antisemitic messages on the synagogue located at 2323 Fremont Ave S. According to the police’s appeal, members of the public with potential information on the crime or suspects are encouraged to come forward.
The suspects, caught on security footage, were last seen bicycling away from the scene. The MPD requests local residents to thoroughly check their security cameras for any relevant footage captured between 2 am and 3 am on the day of the incident. The department describes them as wearing dark hooded sweatshirts, blue surgical gloves, and masks, making any additional footage potentially crucial to properly identify to, at least start to piece together the suspects' identities.
The MPD has provided several avenues for tips, urging anyone with information to reach out by email at [email protected] or leave a voicemail on 612-673-5845. For those preferring to remain anonymous, CrimeStoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477) is an available option, with their online platform at www.CrimeStoppersMN.org also open for submissions. The department emphasized that all tips are anonymous, and there might be a financial award available for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
"When providing information, please reference GO# 25-290921," reminds the MPD post, suggesting the importance of referencing the specific case number to efficiently sort and process the tips.
