The targeted restaurants were Nagila Pizza, Fisherman’s Bowl, Shanghai Diamond Garden, SushiKo, and Shalom Grill.

More news likely to come after Shabbat
“It is still Shabbat on the West Coast, and we won’t know too much more until sundown when the community is back ‘online,'” he wrote.
Police reported that the burglars smashed the windows of the restaurants and took some of the cash registers.
I’m hearing and seeing reports that multiple Jewish (kosher) restaurants in the Pico Robertson area of Los Angeles were smashed and burglarized last night. It is still Shabbat on the West Coast, and we won’t know too much more until sundown when the community is back… pic.twitter.com/AMq2Q4fGn3
