Jewish items stolen from a car in Stamford Hill - The Jewish Chronicle

A volunteer security group has appealed for witnesses' after Jewish prayer items were stolen from a car in Stamford Hill, north London.

Shomrim tweeted footage of the theft which shows a woman opening a car door to take the items.

The items included tefillin, which is a set of small black leather boxes containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah used for prayer.

Other items stolen included a tallit, the fringed garment traditionally worn by people while they pray.
