Police have released surveillance footage of two male suspects they say used a BB gun to shoot a glass door and a light at the Huntington Jewish Center last month — and they are asking the public's help in identifying the pair.
The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the center, located on Park Avenue in Huntington.
Suffolk County police Second Squad detectives released the surveillance footage and ask anyone with information to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
Suffolk police also were looking for information about a man who they say stole cash from a Huntington temple on Thanksgiving evening, Suffolk police said.
The suspect burglarized Temple Beth El of Huntington on Park Avenue shortly before midnight Thursday and stole an undisclosed amount of money, according to detectives from the Second Squad.
The man fled in a four-door sedan.
