NYPD are searching for a 35-year-old man in connection with the burnings of a dozen mezuzahs, Hebrew-inscribed parchments affixed to doorways of Jewish homes, in Brooklyn over the last several days.
Authorities say they used facial recognition to identify the suspect as Rubin Ublies. Police say he was spotted by surveillance cameras lighting a match in the Clymer Street building where the most recent mezuzah was vandalized Tuesday.
Police say Ublies has an extensive criminal history that includes dozens of arrests on robbery, drug, assault, weapons and other charges. In the most recent surveillance photos, he was seen wearing a black jacket with an “NY” emblem on the shoulder and ark pants. He’s about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs roughly 145 pounds, police said.
Anyone with information about Ublies or the arsons is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (8477).
