Authorities say a suburban New York farm and garden center was defaced with anti-Semitic and vulgar graffiti over the weekend.

The vandalism was discovered Sunday in Pearl River, just a week after a similar incident outside a home in the Rockland County community.

The owner of Van Houtan Farms tells the Journal News vandals overturned potted plants, damaged sprinkler heads and cash registers and pulled down a flagpole. He says an American flag lay under muddy footprints.

Orangetown police found swastikas and profanity spray-painted on the farm’s greenhouses.

Police were investigating to determine if the vandalism was connected to a July 27 incident on Lincoln Avenue in which swastikas and racist epithets were spray-painted on vehicles whose tires also were slashed.
