New Haven Police are investigating a case of vandalism after three exterior window panes at a synagogue were found with projectile holes, likely from pellets from a BB gun.

In a release, police said an officer responded to the synagogue Tuesday, April 14th, and inspected the damage, which was estimated at $5,000.

After canvassing the area, police believe the incident happened sometime between Friday, April 10 and Tuesday, April 14.

During their neighborhood canvass, residents reported teenagers playing in the street near the synagogue Friday afternoon, an unreported sound of possible gunfire on a nearby street on Friday night, and an unreported sound of glass breaking on Sunday night.
