NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) -- The FBI warned of a credible threat against New Jersey synagogues on Thursday.

The FBI asked people to take full security precautions to protect their community and buildings. Proactive measures have been put into place while the FBI continues to investigate, the FBI confirmed on Twitter.

More specific details weren’t released, and a message was left with the FBI.

Gov. Phill Murphy has been in touch with New Jersey's Attorney General Matt Platkin, New Jersey's Homeland Security office and the FBI, the governor said on Twitter.

"We are closely monitoring the situation and are working with local law enforcement to ensure that all houses of worship are protected," Gov. Murphy tweeted.

AG Platkin said in a statement that police presence will be heightened in some areas:

Law enforcement will be increasing patrols in sensitive areas. Some of these patrols will be in marked vehicles and others will not – but please do not be alarmed if you observe an increase in police presence as we are taking these steps in an abundance of caution. We also call upon New Jersey residents to be extra vigilant and if you see suspicious activity please report it to your local authorities without delay.

This information of a credible threat comes after Kyrie Irving, who is from the Garden State and plays for the Brooklyn Nets, posted on his Twitter a link for the film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.” Along with Irving, Kanye West has also been in the media making antisemitic statements.

"We continue to work together to keep New Jersey safe, and let those who would bring harm to the residents of this state know that New Jersey will not be home to hate, intolerance or violence," said Platkin.

The NYPD has been working with the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI to ensure the Jewish communities in New York City and the rest of the tri-state area are protected, according to a statement from NYPD.

In Jersey City, Mayor Steven Fulop said police would be posted at the city’s seven synagogues and foot patrols would be added in the broader Jewish community. In 2019, two assailants motivated by anti-Jewish hate killed three people in a kosher market in Jersey City, along with a police officer.
