Hate crime probed

Cops found anti-Semitic scrawlings on residential walls in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Tarzana Thursday morning. The vandalism follows several high-profile anti-Semitic crimes last year. In May, Councilman Jack Weiss' Sherman Oaks office was defaced with swastikas and anti-Semitic writing. In August, several orthodox Jews were attacked in pellet gun shootings around Los Angeles. latimes.com
