This story is still developing, and as soon as there are more news outlets reporting I will post them, but I wanted to make sure that people are aware.

Last night, five Jewish owned stores in Highland Park, New Jersey were vandalized. Their windows were shattered with rocks. Someone posted pictures on Facebook, but they aren't the greatest, I'll try and take some more during my lunch hour. The kosher pizza store, a fleishig restaurant, 2 Judaica stores, and a Jewish-owned hardware store were among the ones targeted, but it's unclear if there were more.

Here are links to some of the photos:

I'll post as soon as I get more info. Please spread awareness and be careful.

[edited by Yael to change the number four to five, as there were in fact 5 stores targeted]

The stores are not neighboring each other and there are plenty of other stores in between. Also, both the Judaica and the Jewish gift shop had the windows smashed.

The blogger put up a map of where the stores are, and they are pretty spread out. You can also see the street if you use Google StreetView to see "Raritain Ave, Highland Park, NJ" to see the placement of the stores.
