New York City pols are looking to step up security at local synagogues after a weekend in which at least three houses of worship received bomb threats via email.
According to police sources, the NYPD did a deep dive investigation after a slew of synagogues across Manhattan and Brooklyn received shocking threats of violence on May 4, including claims that bombs had been placed at the houses of worship. Investigators swiftly determined these emails were not credible, yet that did not dissuade the anger and fear around the communities.
