More graffiti reported in RPV

In addition to two churches vandalized last weekend on The Hill, a Rancho Palos Verdes resident snapped photos of racist graffiti he discovered at Eastview Park on Jan. 22.

The resident, who did want to be named, found swastikas and slogans derisive to black people spray-painted on playground slides, on bathroom doors and inside a bathroom stall at the park. The resident said he reported the crime to the Sheriff's department.

The two incidents at the churches are being investigated by the Sheriff's department as hate crimes. Early Sunday morning, church officials at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Rolling Hills Estates found an racial expletive and a Star of David painted on a wall; on Sunday evening, officials at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Rancho Palos Verdes found the number "666" spray-painted on a rear wall.

Sheriff's officials would not say whether the crimes are connected. No suspects have been arrested.
