NYPD Releases Images of Suspects Accused of Vandalizing Jewish Sites With Nazi Graffiti in Queens
The NYPD has released CCTV images of four suspects accused of carrying out a disturbing antisemitic vandalism spree targeting Jewish sites, homes, and private property across Queens.
According to police, the suspects allegedly spray painted swastikas and other Nazi graffiti at five separate locations during the early morning hours Monday, sparking outrage from community leaders and an active investigation by the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force.

Authorities said the vandalism targeted two Jewish institutions, two residential properties, and a parked vehicle in Forest Hills and Rego Park.
One woman told investigators she was jolted awake after hearing a loud noise outside her home, only to discover vandals had spray painted a swastika on her window.
One of the suspects also allegedly defaced Congregation Machane Chodosh by painting a swastika on the synagogue’s front facing wall.
Additional antisemitic graffiti was discovered at the Rego Park Jewish Center. Police also said a resident returned home to find a swastika spray painted on his garage door.

In another incident connected to the spree, a local man discovered Nazi graffiti on his parked vehicle after leaving it overnight in the neighborhood.
The newly released footage shows four young men dressed in baggy clothing walking together down a street during the alleged crime spree.
The incidents prompted condemnation from the city’s Commission on Religious Leaders, which described the attacks as “hatred directed against all of us.”
The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is continuing to investigate.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1 800 577 TIPS.
