A suspect accused of removing mezuzot from two homes in north west London has been arrested and released on bail, the police confirmed today.
On Monday morning, the mezuzot were allegedly removed from front doors in Bridge Lane, Golders Green. One of the incidents was caught on a CCTV camera, with the suspect appearing to approach a front door and hack off the Jewish fixture with a knife.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed today that a 33-year-old suspect was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of “racially-motivated criminal damage,” and has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
They did not confirm whether the suspect was the same man caught on camera.
