The San Luis Obispo Police Department is asking the community to come forward with any information about suspicious activity around the time anti-Semitic graffiti was sprawled outside a Jewish-affiliated Cal Poly fraternity.
Members of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity reported finding the swastikas and other graffiti at their house in the 200 block of California Blvd. on the morning of Saturday, Feb. 6.
Police say the vandalism has been determined to be a hate crime, and SLOPD investigators are working with Cal Poly Police and the FBI to develop leads.
