Police Investigate Arson At Jewish Bookstore in Hollywood

The bookstore was set ablaze on Dec. 1

Police on Thursday were searching for two people caught on surveillance video outside a Jewish bookstore in Hollywood when it was set ablaze.

Holyland Judaica, located at 5650 Stirling Road, was set on fire on Dec. 1 at 1:57 a.m., according to police.

Surveillance video released by police shows two unidentified people wearing hoodies at the time of the fire. One of the hoodies appears to be yellow, and the other white. Detectives want to talk with these people about the fire.

Lt. Norris Redding told NBC Miami that the fire is under investigation because it was arson, but authorities don't believe it's a hate crime.
