LAKEWOOD – Township Police are investigating a case of a dead pig being left at the doorstep of a rabbi living on Treetop Lane.
The incident occurred between midnight and 7 a.m. on November 28, police said. This was on a holy day. Lakewood police are teaming up with the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department and several local departments and have been pursuing several leads.
Chief Gregory H. Meyer said this is being investigated as a Bias Harassment crime, and reminded the public that such acts will not be tolerated.
The Anti-Defamation League, which advocates against anti-Semetism, tweeted “This incident is beyond horrifying & should be condemned by all. We’re glad Lakewood PD is investigating as an “apparent bias crime.” Please share any information with law enforcement so that those responsible can be apprehended.”
