Some car owners said they may have been targeted because of their religious beliefs after they found as many as 23 vehicles vandalized near three synagogues in Northeast Miami-Dade, Saturday morning.
The next day, victim Jennifer Lehrfeld showed 7News the damage to her vehicle. “There’s a lot of glass inside the door,” she said as she opened the passenger side door.
Moments later, the sound of glass rang out as Lehrfeld closed the door. “That’s like impossible to get out,” she said. “Even the cost of replacing the glass is not such a big deal, but they’ve got to take the whole door apart.”
Shattered glass remained scattered near the intersection of Northeast 10th Avenue and 172nd Street, an area that borders North Miami Beach. “Late Friday night or early Saturday morning, when we came to temple in the morning, we walked, and we noticed that almost all the cars that are parked before the temples, from 171st to 176th [streets], had been smashed in,” said Lehrfeld.
