Police are searching for a suspect after a mosque in Kent was vandalized Saturday morning.
Surveillance video captures the moment the suspect drives onto the property in a grey pickup truck before throwing what appears to be rocks through a window before speeding away.
Community members at the Islamic Center of Federal Way (located in Kent) are hopeful someone will recognize the suspect in the video and provide the information to police.
“It’s heartbreaking,” said Board President Atif Nazir. “It puts everybody at unease in the community.”
Nazir said people discovered the broken window when they showed up Saturday to pray.
“Today this happens,” he said. “What’s tomorrow?”
It’s not the first time the Islamic Center of Federal Way has been targeted. Last year, suspects broke into the center and stole donation money.
In the years before that, Nazir said the center had been subject to harassment. People had gathered in the street shouting or screaming names, especially during times of prayer.
