WATERBURY, Conn. — Waterbury police are looking for a man they said broke into the Masjid Al-Mustafa mosque last Wednesday.
Officials said the unidentified man forced entry into the building and broke several windows inside the mosque.
No religious items or anything else was taken from the mosque, according to police.
No injuries were also reported.
The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CT) addressed the break-in and hopes the public can assist in finding the suspect.
“Houses of worship must be places of security for their communities, free from intimidation and acts of violence,” said CAIR-CT Chairman Farhan Memon. “We call on members of the public to assist Waterbury police in finding the perpetrator of this disturbing crime.”
Anyone with information is requested to contact the Waterbury Police Burglary Squad Detectives at (203)574-6941 or Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (203)755-1234.
