I KEPT THE TICKETS. WE GOT MARRIED LOST YEAR, AND BEFORE WE WALKED DOWN THE AISLE, I GAVE HER A CARD WITH THE TICKETS INSIDE. THE OILERS HOCKEY, IT'S BEEN A PART OF OUR LIVES. >> Reporter: BY WINNING THE WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL, THE OILERS HAVE THEIR FIRST REAL SHOT AT THE STANLEY CUP SINCE 2006.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE TIME TO DO THAT? WE'RE GOING TO CUT SOME THINGS DOWN. >> YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S NOT MY MONEY. LET'S GIVE THEM ALL $5,000. >> Reporter: SAJAK ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT. NO BIG REASON, HE SAID. AT 77 YEARS OLD, THE TIME JUST FELT RIGHT.

WE COULD SEE CLEARLY -- >> THAT IT WAS A HAMMER. >> Reporter: THEY HAVE LAID MORE THAN 240 HATE CHARGES TO DATE. >> BASED ON THE EVIDENCE WE HAVE HERE, THIS IS A MISCHIEF. IT'S VANDALISM TO A SYNAGOGUE, SO IT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. WHETHER THE INCIDENT WAS MOTIVATED BY HATE, BIAS, OR PREJUDICE, THAT'S PART OF OUR INVESTIGATION. >> Reporter: MANY INVOLVE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AND VANDALISM. >> IT'S TROUBLING TO SEE WHAT THE IMPACT IS HERE, NOT ONLY ON THE SYNAGOGUE ITSELF BUT THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. >> Reporter: IN THIS CASE, THERE IS VIDEO, BUT POLICE ONLY RELEASE THIS STILL IMAGE FROM IT. THE VANDALISM HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. OFFICERS ARE HOPING NEIGHBOURS CAN ALSO PROVIDE MORE FOOTAGE FROM HOME SECURITY CAMERAS. >> Reporter: WHAT STANDS OUT TO YOU ON THAT? >> WELL, THE CLOTHING THAT THE SUSPECT IS WEARING, HOW HE OR SHE ARRIVED AT THE CRIME SCENE. >> Reporter: POLICE REPORT MORE THAN HALF OF REPORTED HATE CRIMES HAVE TARGETED JEWISH PEOPLE. THIS RABBI FACING THIS FOR A SECOND TIME DREADS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. >> SO IT'LL BE SOMEONE ELSE'S WINDOWS, AND IT'LL BE SOMEONE ELSE, AND IT'LL BE SOMEONE ACCOSTED ON THE STREET, AND IT'LL BE SOMEONE ELSE, AND EACH LEVEL THAT RATCHETS UP, AS WELL, MAYBE THIS'LL BE AS BAD AS IT GETS, AND MAYBE IT IS, BUT MAYBE IT ISN'T. [♪♪♪] >> Reporter: FOR MONTHS, TORONTO HAS BEEN GRIPPED BY THE TENSION OF A DEVASTATING AND DIVISIVE CONFLICT. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO HATE RELATED ARRESTS LINKED TO PROTESTS. MOST REPORTS INVOLVED GRAFFITI, PROPERTY DAMAGE, RACIAL SLURS. THERE HAVE BEEN SHOTS FIRED AT A JEWISH SCHOOL AND A JEWISH OWNED BUSINESSES. POLICE WON'T SPECULATE WHO'S BEHIND THE INCIDENTS. SO THERE IS AN ACTUAL HATE CRIME, RIGHT? IT'S A CRIMINAL SENSE THAT'S MOTIVATED BY HATE, BIAS, OR PREJUDICE. >> Reporter: AT A TRAINING CLASS FOR 911 DISPATCHERS, IT'S EXPLAINED THAT THESE INCIDENTS ARE COMPLEX. >> CAN ANYBODY GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF A HATE SYMBOL? >> A SWASTIKA? >> A SWASTIKA IS TRICKY BECAUSE A SWASTIKA OUTSIDE A HINDU TEMPLE IS DIFFERENT THAN A SWASTIKA OUTSIDE A SYNAGOGUE. >> HATE INCIDENTS DO AND CAN HAVE A VERY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A SLUR THAT'S BEING SHOUTED OUT, ABSOLUTELY IT CAN, BUT WE'RE INVESTIGATING THESE TIMES OF INCIDENTS, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE CRIMINAL ACT, THE CRIMINALITY IN THESE SITUATIONS IS KEY. >> I THINK PEOPLE ARE, YOU KNOW, RETHINKING THEIR FEELING OF SAFETY AND SECURITY WHEN ANYONE'S HARMED OR AT RISK OR IN DANGER. WHEN WE START TO SWEEP THEM UNDER THE RUG OR MAKE EXCUSES FOR THEM OR TURN THE OTHER WAY, WE'LL BE IN TROUBLE. >> Reporter: DURING AN INTERVIEW, AN UNANNOUNCED VISIT BUT NOT AN UNUSUAL ONE. >> SO HERE WE ARE. THE GOOD NEWS IS THEY FIND A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE. I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO HATE CRIME NEXT AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING. >> Reporter: THE ALARMING RISE IN HATE CRIME HAS LED TO A PERMANENT POLICE PRESENCE IN TORONTO'S JEWISH COMMUNITY. >> GOOD. THANK YOU. >> PEOPLE ARE NERVOUS ON ALL SIDES AND PEOPLE DON'T WANT THINGS TO ESCALATE. >> Reporter: ANTISEMITISM IS REPORTED MORE OFTEN, BUT THE STATISTICS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY. POLICE SAY ISLAMOPHOBIC INCIDENTS ARE SEVERELY UNDERREPORTS, INCLUDING WOMEN WHOSE RELIGIOUS WEAR MAKES THEM TARGETS. SO YOU JUST COME IN AND SAY HELLO? >> YEAH, WE'LL JUST POP IN, SAY HELLO TO SOME OF THE WORSHIPPERS. HELLO, HOW ARE YOU DOING, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. >> Reporter: WE CAUGHT UP WITH THIS OFFICER AT A MOSQUE IN A TORONTO NEIGHBORHOOD. >> WE'LL JUST ASK ANY CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE. >> Reporter: THE VISITS ARE MEANT TO BREAKTHROUGH THE BARRIERS TO REPORT. IT OFTEN COMES FROM MISTRUST AND FEELINGS THAT POLICE WORK FOR THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY, TOO. >> THE GOAL IS THAT THE COMMUNITY SAYS YEAH, PLEASE COME AROUND ALL THE TIME. WE'RE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, WE'RE CREATING A SENSE OF NORMALCY THAT THE POLICE ARE WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY AND IT REALLY BREAKS DOWN WALLS. >> Reporter: ON THE WAY TO HIS NEXT VISIT, THE OFFICER ACKNOWLEDGES BREAKING DOWN WALLS IS TAKING TIME. >> THERE'S STILL AN ELEMENT OF THE UNKNOWN, IS ANYONE GOING TO CARE OR IS ANYONE GOING TO MAKE ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE? >> Reporter: NEXT, COMMUNITIES ON GUARD. >> IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE HATES YOU WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM. >> Reporter: AND A GROWING RESOLVE TO STANDUP TO HATE. >> TIGHTENING SECURITY LIKE NEVER BEFORE. IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS CRACKING THIS STORY BY GETTING ACCESS TO THE TORONTO HATE CRIMES UNIT, DEALING WITH THE GROWING ANXIETY FELT BY THESE PEOPLE OF FAITH. >> Reporter: AT THE TORONTO ISLAMIC CENTRE, FAITH HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN A GIVEN. LAST YEAR DURING EARLY MORNING PRAYERS, POLICE SAY A MAN THREW A ROCK AND SWUNG A BIKE CHAIN AT THEM. THE ACCUSED IS NOW FACING MORE THAN A DOZEN CHARGES. THIS MAN WAS THERE THAT MORNING, THE ASSISTANT IMAM. >> I REMEMBER HE SPAT IN THIS DIRECTION. >> Reporter: HE SPAT AT YOU? >> YES. HE KICKED ONE OF THE IMAMS LIKE HE WAS BIKING. IT WAS ODD. IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHY SOMEONE HATES YOU WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU. >> FOR A VERY LONG TIME, THERE IS, I THINK, THIS FEELING OF US BEING A GUEST TO THIS COUNTRY, AND SO THAT GUEST MENTALITY HAS TO DO, I THINK, WITH NOT BEING A NUISANCE. I REMEMBER EVEN WHEN THE ATTACK, IT HAPPENED. SOMEONE MENTIONED, IT'S OKAY. DON'T CALL. IT'S AS IF WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY BE HARMED FOR US TO CALL WHEN OTHER COMMUNITIES AREN'T THINKING LIKE THAT, SO IT'S -- >> Reporter: SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CHANGE? >> SOMETHING WE ARE CHANGING. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU SEE POLICE AROUND YOU, IT BECOMES NORMALIZED, AND IT'S NOT AS SCARY. >> Reporter: HE'S ASKING HIS COMMUNITY TO SPEAK OUT MORE, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER GENERATION. ON THIS NIGHT, A SPECIAL THANKS TO COMMUNITY OFFICERS. IT'S A RECOGNITION OF POLICE AND OF THEIR OWN VOICE, TOO, BUT ONE THAT'S BECOME MORE WARY THAN EVER. >> NOW, I MUST BE -- NOT LOOK AT THE PERSON TOO LONG. I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE ENTRANCE. FUNNY ENOUGH, ACTUALLY, IN OTHER MOSQUES, I CAN ACTUALLY PRAY PEACEFULLY. >> Reporter: EXPERTS SAY IT CAN HAVE A LASTING PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT. THIS DETECTIVE FROM THE HATE CRIMES UNIT INVESTIGATED THE ATTACK ON THE TORONTO ISLAMIC CENTRE. YOU'RE NOT BASED OUT OF ANY LOCATION, RIGHT? >> NO, THAT'S RIGHT. >> Reporter: HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT IDENTIFYING A SUSPECT WHO'S DISGUISED? >> WHO'S FACE IS COVERED UP? AGAIN, WE HAVE DEDICATED RESOURCES AVAILABLE, WHETHER IT BE FACIAL RECOGNITION, WE PUT BULLETINS OUT INTERNALLY, OTHER OFFICERS THAT MAY HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SUSPECT PREVIOUSLY CAN ASSIST IN IDENTIFYING THE INDIVIDUAL. >> Reporter: AND IS IT ALSO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THIS INDIVIDUAL IS THE SAME PERSON WHO VANDALIZED THE SYNAGOGUE A MONTH AGO? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> Reporter: HATE CRIME INVESTIGATIONS CAN TAKE TIME. THIS IS ABOUT ADDRESSING PEOPLE. HATE CRIMES DETECTIVES MAKE THE ROUNDED ACROSS THE CITY, ESPECIALLY ON CERTAIN DAYS WHEN LARGER CROWDS COME FOR PRAYERS. WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. >> ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS A KNIFE, RIGHT? I'M GOING TO STAB THIS BROTHER MULTIPLE TIMES, RIGHT? >> Reporter: A VOLUNTEER IS STABBED IN AN EXERCISE, PRACTISE IN CASE THIS BECOMES REAL. THIS MAN IS PART OF THE SAFETY PROJECT. THE GROUP OFFERS SECURITY TRAINING TO MOSQUES AND COMMUNITY GROUPS, WHICH OFFER EVACUATION DRILLS. >> I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU 30 SECONDS, AND IN 30 SECONDS, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE AS FAST AS YOU CAN AS IF YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER. OKAY? 30. >> Reporter: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FACT THAT THAT NEED HAS GONE UP? >> THERE'S A VERY SOLEMN MOOD ABOUT OUR TEAM RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A VERY HORRIBLE SITUATION. WE'VE GOT TO DO WHAT WE CAN WITH THE LIMITED TOOLS THAT WE HAVE. >> Reporter: THE DEMAND FOR THESE CLASSES HAS DOUBLED SINCE OCTOBER 7. >> I WANT YOU TO GATHER EVERYBODY. >> Reporter: THIS WOMAN RUNS A COMMUNITY CENTRE. SHE ASKS THE IMAM TO DO MORE TRAINING SESSIONS. THERE'S ALSO MORE SECURITY, BUT A SENSE OF SAFETY DOESN'T ALWAYS FOLLOW. >> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL HAS BEEN TARGETED SINCE OCTOBER 7. >> WHAT I FEEL IS THE HATE HAS BEEN RISEN ESPECIALLY AFTER OCTOBER 7 WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING, MY TEN YEARS OLD IS SAYING MOM, IS IT SAFE TO STAY IN CANADA, AND I DON'T WANT MY CHILDRENS TO LIVE WITH THAT FEAR. >> Reporter: I KNOW SOME SYNAGOGUES IN THE CITY HAVE HEIGHTENED THEIR VIGILANCE IN THE CITY, EVEN GETTING SAFETY TRAINS. DO YOU HAVE THAT HERE? >> ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE ON THE DRAWING BOARD AS WE SPEAK. [♪♪♪] >> Reporter: A WEEK AFTER THE ATTACK AT THE SYNAGOGUE, WE WERE INVITED FOR A SERVICE TO WELCOME SHABBAT. THERE WERE PRAYERS FOR HEALING AND PEACE. >> WE'VE ALL INVESTED FAR TOO MUCH OF OURSELVES, OUR HEARTS, AND OUR SOULS IN THIS COMMUNITY TO BE INTIMIDATED. WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER AND CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER AND WHO WE REALLY ARE, NO FORCE IN THE WORLD CAN DEFEAT US OR DISCOURAGE US. >> Reporter: BROKEN WINDOWS, THEY CAN BE REPLACED, BUT THE PLAN IS TO KEEP SOME OF THE SHARDS AND USE THEM TO MAKE A DOORPOST THAT SERVES AS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF FAITH. THERE'S NO DOUBT IT IS DEMORALIZING AND DRAINING TO BE ON CONSTANT GUARD, BUT THERE IS STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY, A PLACE WHERE HATE CAN'T WIN. >> Erica: IOANNA, WE HEARD IN YOUR STORY THAT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A HATE CRIME BUT RATHER THAT POLICE HAVE TO PROVE THAT A CRIME WAS MOTIVATED BY HATE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GO TO COURT? >> Reporter: IF A CRIME IS PROVEN TO BE MOTIVATED BY HATE, THAT CAN BE AN AGGRAVATOR WHEN ASKING FOR A SENTENCE, BUT IT CAN BE HARD TO GET THAT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE OFTEN SCARED BY WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM SO THAT IS A CHALLENGE THAT POLICE ARE FACING CONTINUOUSLY. >> Reporter: SO WHAT ARE POLICE SAYING WHO IS BEHIND THESE HATE CRIMES? >> Reporter: WELL, POLICE AREN'T SAYING IF THERE'S ANY PARTICULAR PROFILE OR IF THERE'S ANY PARTICULAR ETHNIC OR RELIGIOUS CONFIGURATIONS. WHAT HAPPENS IS POLICE HAVE TO FIND EVIDENCE OF A CRIME AND FIND EVIDENCE THAT A SUSPECT WAS MOTIVATED BY HATE, BIAS, OR PREJUDICE. >> Erica: IOANNA ROUMELIOTIS, THANK YOU. >> Reporter: THANK YOU. >> Erica: UP NEXT, A TREASURE HUNTING COUPLE STRIKES IT RICH. >> WE WERE NOT EXPECTING TO FIND MUCH OF ANYTHING IT'S OUR "MOMENT." >> ABOUT 45 MINUTES IN, HE FELT WHAT'S CALLED THE CLICK. WE GOT SOMETHING, SO HE KNEW THE FEELING. HE WENT, PULLED IT UP. WE WERE NOT EXPECTING TO FIND MUCH OF ANYTHING INSIDE. YOU KNOW, MAYBE A COUPLE COINS, MAYBE SOME PLASTIC BAGS, POSSIBLY CREDIT CARDS, BUT LO AND BEHOLD. >> ALL THAT MONEY. >> MONEY. >> THERE WAS SO MUCH THERE AND SO MUCH FALLING TO THE FLOOR AND FALLING ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE CAN TELL YOU HOW MUCH WAS ESTIMATED AT THE OFFICIAL BUREAU OF ENGRAVING. THE OFFICIAL COUNT IS $50,000 TO $80,000. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS GETTING A PLACE OF OUR HOME. >> HONESTLY, NEW YORK CITY WILL ALWAYS BE OUR PLACE, BUT WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED A PLACE WITH CHICKENS AND GOATS OF OUR OWN. >> Erica: THEY STARTED THIS HOBBY DURING COVID AND THIS IS NOT THEIR FIRST SAFE. THEY'VE PULLED UP FIVE OTHERS, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ONE HAS BEEN FILLED WITH CASH. >>> AND THAT'S IT FOR US TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
