(JTA) — A woman captured on surveillance cameras after breaking in to an Orthodox synagogue in Norfolk, Virginia, turned herself in.
Morghan Rogers, 29, was charged with one count of larceny and one count of trespassing, according to local reports.
Rogers and an unidentified man last week spent two hours inside B’Nai Israel Congregation wandering through its halls, drinking and smoking, and vandalizing the inside of the building. They reportedly entered the synagogue through an unlocked front door at 10:45 p.m. on November 14.
The man has not been identified, though police told local media that Norfolk detectives are working on charging the man.
