Swastikas Painted On Brooklyn Shuls, Cars & Homes
Vandals painted swastikas and other anti-Semitic messages on the streets of Brooklyn Heights on Monday, defacing two synagogues and shaking up many residents of the typically quiet neighborhood.
New York City Police said the anti-Semitic graffiti was found shortly before 10 p.m. Monday. The Nazi symbols were painted on the top of staircases of the two synagogues, both on Remsen Avenue. Three homes on Columbia Place were also defaced.
Other anti-Semitic markings were spray painted on two cars in the area.
The NYPD is treating the vandalism as a bias crime.
Investigators spent much of the night searching the neighborhood for clues about who might have carried out the vandalism.
