Two West Hollywood businesses vandalized with anti-Semitic language

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Deputies are searching for the suspect(s) responsible for vandalizing two local businesses with anti-Semitic language.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s West Hollywood Station says surveillance video appears to show a male adult walk by the Block Party carrying a backpack and plastic bag before allegedly painting on its window. 

An employee of the Block Party store found some initials and five-point stars to apparently represent the six point Star of David.
