CHAMPAIGN — Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a person who knocked over the menorah on the front lawn of the Chabad Jewish Center, 509 S. Fourth St., Champaign.

The incident was recorded on security camera at about 6 a.m. Wednesday. The man walks into the frame and pushes the menorah several times before it eventually falls over.

He then walks out of the frame. A moment later, he walks past the camera again with two other people.

Because the menorah broke at its base, the damage is estimated to be about $2,269. The menorah already had been replaced after vandals knocked it over in spring 2015.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the University of Illinois Police Department at 217-333-1216. Witnesses may remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 373-TIPS (8477), or by visiting www.373tips.com. All calls to Crime Stoppers are electronically scrubbed of all caller ID information and answered by a third-party service, not the police.

Anonymous tips may also be sent via text message by sending keyword “CCTIP” plus the information to 274637 (CRIMES).
