US EditionCCTV captures suspects in synagogue terror attack
- On December 6, 2024, three masked suspects drove a stolen blue Volkswagen Golf from 2020 to Ripponlea, Melbourne, where they parked outside the Adass Israel Synagogue before carrying out an arson attack.
- Authorities believe the attack was politically motivated and linked to a broader string of violent crimes involving the same vehicle, including a nightclub arson and a shooting earlier that night.
- The suspects broke into the synagogue with an axe, poured accelerant from red jerry cans inside, ignited the fire, and fled towards Melbourne's western suburbs in the stolen car.
- Victoria Police and federal agencies released CCTV footage from over 1,400 locations showing the suspects and the vehicle, urging the public to provide information and warning that "the penalty for terrorism is life imprisonment."
- The investigation remains a top national security priority with ongoing efforts to identify all involved, and police affirm their commitment to bringing the offenders to justice as soon as possible.
