The NYPD is searching for a group of men who they said spray painted anti-Semitic graffiti on a property in Brooklyn.
As YWN reported, the incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. Saturday on Exeter Street, in Manhattan Beach.
The NYPD released surveillance video of the four suspects walking in the area.
One of the suspects appears to be using an aerosol can and lighter to spray flames near a car and tree.
The graffiti was found scrawled on a home, as well as a nearby tree stump.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
The incident occurred just hours after the NYPD arrested a former NYPD officer for spraying anti-semitic graffiti on more than 20 locations around Boro Park.
Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Brooklyn) released the following statement to YWN following the incident:
“The appearance of hate graffiti in two predominantly Jewish neighborhoods this weekend — here in my district in Manhattan Beach and also in Borough Park — reminds us that we can never educate people enough about anti-Semitism and the dangers of intolerance.
“Whether the graffiti was motivated by hatred, anger, boredom or ignorance the result is exactly the same: it makes residents feel uncomfortable and frightened to be in the place they call home. This is unacceptable under any circumstances, and particularly in neighborhoods where many Holocaust survivors sought refuge.
“The person responsible for this crime must be punished to the fullest extent that the law allows, and all of us must continue to speak out swiftly and decisively against any act of hatred that takes place in our community.”

Let them continue, and then slap them with 5 years PER COUNT. These morons aren’t bright enough to figure out there are cameras everywhere.
Where exactly is Shomrim in this story? I realize it’s impossible to stake out an entire town, but why aren’t there people driving around/keeping an eye out?
