Barnstable police respond to a break-in at the Chabad Jewish Center on West Main Street in Hyannis yesterday.
HYANNIS, MA — Three youths will be arraigned Friday morning in connection with Tuesday’s break-in at the Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Cod. The local teenagers are accused of vandalizing the synagogue, pulling a charity box off the wall, smashing doors, and throwing phylacteries on the floor. Especially disturbing to the center’s rabbi and the broader community was the overt message the teens left in their wake.
When the break-in was discovered Wednesday, images of Adolf Hitler were displayed on each computer screen. Anti-Semitic literature was strewn around the building.
