Swastikas and other graffiti were found on Temple Aliyah in Woodland Hills earlier this week, and authorities are investigating the actions as a hate crime, it was reported Thursday.
The vandalism, which also included the writing of a gang name and a profane drawing, occurred between late Sunday evening and early Monday morning on a sign near the street and on a guard shack at the entrance of the synagogue, the Daily News reported.
It's a symbol normally used for hate purposes placed on a Jewish temple, LAPD Det. Nick Abbinanti told the newspaper. Authorities said they have no suspect information, but that they did find similar tagging in the area about three to four miles away, on an alley wall in the West Hills area.

We immediately contacted the LAPD ... and before parents and children could arrive for school, our security team inspected the synagogue grounds to ensure the safety of our children, the statement said. The offensive symbols and other taggings have already been removed.

We have seen symbols of hate and hate speech graffiti at places of worship and places of education all across our country. These criminals have been emboldened by tRump and his terrorist supporters.
