Police in Spokane, Washington, have started a hate-crime investigation into a series of swastikas that were spray-painted on a synagogue.
The Spokane Police Department received a report that the Temple Beth Shalom building had been vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti at around 9.20 a.m. on Monday.
Officers who arrived on the scene found one side of the building and a Holocaust memorial had been defaced.
The suspect, a white male, was seen alone on the Temple Beth Shalom camera system, according to police. He was wearing blue jeans, black boots, a dark-colored jacket with a hood, as well as a dark-colored beanie-style cap, black gloves, a red mask and sunglasses on his head.
