Vandalism at a Davis mosque early Sunday morning is being investigated as a hate crime, police said. Six window panes at the Davis Islamic Center were shattered by an “unknown type device,” strips of uncooked bacon were placed on the door handle and two bikes were destroyed, the Davis Police Department said. According to surveillance video, the vandalism happened between 3:45 a.m. and 4 a.m. Police said this is being investigated as a hate crime. The Council of American-Islamic Relations -- Sacramento Valley said in a statement it is urging federal officials to look into the crime. "We ask state law enforcement authorities and the FBI to investigate the apparent bias motive for this vandalism and to bring the perpetrator to justice," CAIR-SV Executive Director Basim Elkarra said in a statement. "The swift apprehension and punishment of those responsible for this act of religious intimidation will send the message that the growing Islamophobia we are witnessing in our nation will not be tolerated or ignored." The vandal is described as a 25- to 35-year-old woman who is between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 160 to 180 pounds, police said. She has red/brown wavy hair and was last seen wearing beige high-top shoes, a black hat, gray or blue tight-fitting pants, an off-white vest with an unknown color shirt. "We did see the video and she seems well planned. She knew what she was doing exactly. She wasn't drunk," said mosque leader Ammar Shahin. "She was very clear on what she was doing. She was just trying to cause damage to the mosque. Leaving the bacon on the door was a clear sign for us that because we don't eat bacon, so she just wanted her money, kind of. She is telling us this is a sign for you guys." CAIR-SV is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the vandal. Anyone with information is urged to call the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400.
