Police are investigating several mischievous acts at an Atlanta synagogue as a possible hate crime.

DeKalb County police tell Channel 2 Action News they are watching for a pickup truck whose occupants allegedly have been targeting worshipers at Congregation Beth Jacob in the Toco Hill area.

Over the last three weeks, bagles have been left on people’s lawns and tied to trees, and eggs have been thrown at members of the synagogue in the 1800 block of Lavista Road.

“The latest incident happened last night in this parking lot. A man walked out of this building and someone threw an egg at him,” said Rabbi Ilan Feldman.

Police are also looking into car burglaries in the area, and Atlanta Police say they recovered a stolen vehicle nearby, as well.

Almost all of the latest incidents happened on Friday nights, during the Jewish Sabbath, when people often leave their cars parked at the synagogue overnight.

“Well, certainly it is upsetting. We have families living in the neighborhood and people are vulnerable,” Feldman said. “You don’t know if these are pranksters or worse. You don’t know if this will escalate, so it certainly is of concern.”

DeKalb police spokesman Lt. Antonio B. Catlin tells Channel 2 the department is investigating the incidents but has not yet identified any suspects.

“Precinct command staff along with our Criminal Investigation Division has met with local rabbis to discuss security concerns and ways to improve their security,” Catlin said.

“We’ve met with the police,” says Feldman. “The police have been extremely cooperative. We've asked them to increase patrols, and they have.”

So far, police say they are not treating the incidents as a hate crime.
