Over a dozen Torah scrolls stolen from synagogue in Paris suburb
More than twelve Torah scrolls were stolen from a synagogue located in a Paris suburb. Local community leaders believe the theft was the work of a professional group, as no other items were taken.
A significant theft occurred at a synagogue in a Paris suburb, where over a dozen Torah scrolls were removed from the premises. The president of the local Jewish community association reported the incident, emphasizing the specific nature of the crime. According to the association, the perpetrators appeared to be a 'professional team' because they bypassed other valuables in the building, focusing exclusively on the religious scrolls.
Because the scrolls are considered items of immeasurable value to the community, the theft is being treated as a targeted act rather than a random burglary. While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have not yet released details regarding suspects or how the thieves gained entry to the synagogue. The Times of Israel reports that the items taken were strictly limited to the Torah scrolls, suggesting the thieves had a specific objective in mind when entering the facility. There are currently no reports of physical harm to congregants or staff, as the incident appears to have been a property crime focused on religious artifacts.
