Police in Santa Monica, California, were searching for an "extremely dangerous" 61-year-old man in connection with a bombing at a synagogue.

Authorities began their investigation Thursday after the blast at Chabad House.

Investigators found evidence in the damaged synagogue that may prove that the bombing is connected to a "transient" who had been seen in the area, the Santa Monica police said in a statement.

"Investigation has determined that Items found in and around the mechanism are linked to an individual by the name of Ron Hirsch, identified as a transient," the statement said. "Hirsch is known to frequent synagogues and Jewish community centers seeking charity from patrons. Hirsch is considered extremely dangerous."
