Jewish businesses vandalized in West LA
Multiple Jewish businesses were vandalized in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood, authorities said.
LOS ANGELES - An investigation was underway in Los Angeles' Pico-Robertson neighborhood after several Jewish-owned businesses were vandalized on Election Day, officials said.
Pico-Roberson is home to several synagogues in LA as well as the Museum of Tolerance.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to calls of potential hate crimes in the 8700 block of Pico Boulevard around 9:20 a.m. At the scene, they found several businesses with broken windows.
At this stage of the investigation, it's unclear whether the businesses were targeted.
Jeffrey I. Abrams, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League Los Angeles, said in a statement the organization is "aware that several businesses in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood have been vandalized. As of now, it appears the majority of the businesses are Jewish-owned. ADL is in contact with the LAPD."
The ADL urged any victims to contact the LAPD.
"ADL will be monitoring the situation and publicly sharing information throughout the day," Abrams said.
