Teaneck Police Investigating Possible Biased Wi-Fi ID

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Law enforcement officials are investigating a complaint about an offensive wireless network name in northern New Jersey.

Teaneck Police Chief Robert Wilson says police were called after someone at the Richard Rodda Community Center reported finding the phrase as the name of an available wireless network on Tuesday.

Police have not disclosed the offensive phrase, but the Daily News reports it was anti-Semitic and racist in nature.

Wilson says it's being investigated as a possible bias crime. The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office computer crime unit is assisting.

Police say there is no known connection between Tuesday's incident and recent vandalism and a firebombing at Bergen County synagogues.

Earlier this month, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a temple in Rutherford, N.J. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Other bias crimes include another fire at a Paramus temple and swastikas turning up at synagogues in Hackensack and Maywood.

Investigators say those crimes are likely connected.
