Five scrolls of Hebrew Scripture that were stolen from a New York City synagogue last week have been returmed.

The scrolls were valued at about $30,000 each and were reported missing Wednesday. Police said someone climbed through an open window at the Karlsburg Synagogue in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn and stole them from an unlocked safe.
