Authorities say they used facial recognition to identify the suspect as Rubin Ublies. Police say he was spotted by surveillance cameras lighting a match in the Clymer Street building where the most recent mezuzah was vandalized Tuesday.
Police say Ublies has an extensive criminal history that includes dozens of arrests on robbery, drug, assault, weapons and other charges. In the most recent surveillance photos, he was seen wearing a black jacket with an “NY” emblem on the shoulder and ark pants. He’s about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs roughly 145 pounds, police said.
Anyone with information about Ublies or the arsons is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (8477).

Goody goodies, try to distroy the Mezzuzahs Bpeh. G-D instructed that we splash it on the doorways in Parshas Boh, to save us from the bad angel.
Don’t everyone jump on me, but imagine this face in frum garb. Why do I wonder if his ma, or ta, is Jewish?
It is well known that towards the end things and events will move faster. We will understand “supposed” coincidences not long after they occur. It is also fairly well known in many chasidishe communities the unfortunate significance of burning parchments such as mezuzes R”L.
It’s the liberal politicians we elect that allow real criminals to roam the streets. It’s our fault.
Send him to Texas and we’ll take care of him. What shmutz.
The rabbi of kiryas yoel ny said this motzie shabos that the Jewish people of California stumbled on eating non kosher meat because in ny (excluding kj) Jews are eating chicken that have a problem of tzumas hagidin. According to the rabbi the reason of burning the mezuzas, could it maybe be because in kj they have a yeshiva educating Jewish children without mezuzas?
Wow, always hate the frum Jew relevant or not, if not make the bad guy Jewish… What lovely commenters.
I was thinking it would be a teenager not a 35 yr old .what a surprise! Very juveneile of him
and when they interview his mother she will say he is a good person….like the driver of the car that killed the beautiful couple and their baby
I don’t think a public school requires mezuzos. And to connect this hateful crime to something going on for years is ridiculous. Keep on hating guys, it’s a lovely middah.
