Police have begun a probe into the theft of “various items” on the weekend from a King Street East mosque in Hamilton, Ont.
Investigators say the target was Ibrahim Jame Mosque at King Street just east of Sanford Avenue.
It’s alleged a man broke into the facility around 2 a.m. on Saturday, took items and then fled on foot.
The suspect was wearing a grey hooded jacket, blue jeans and winter boots, according to police.
Ibrahim Jame was the subject of a bomb threat just days before the break and enter which they say was tied to a “congregational prayer” session.
Hamilton police say a probe into that Jan. 6 occurrence is ongoing; they have not made any connection between that incident and Saturday’s robbery.
Anyone with information on either incident can reach out to Hamilton police or Crime Stoppers.
