LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Police today released video footage of an individual who may have scrawled graffiti, some of it described as anti- semitic, throughout the West Los Angeles area between Saturday and Monday.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, ``numerous'' vehicles were spray-painted with graffiti between 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday in the Beverlywood and Pico-Robertson areas.
On Monday around 9 p.m., three Jewish schools along the 15000 block of Mulholland Drive were vandalized with spray paint. The same night between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., more vehicles were vandalized ``in a similar manner near the Brentwood and Westwood communities of Los Angeles,'' according to an LAPD statement.
According to a report on the website LAist.com, the westside campuses where the anti-semitic graffiti was found included American Jewish University in Bel Air and Westwood Charter School.
The LAPD released video of someone wearing a red hoodie -- described as a person of interest in the case -- getting out of and back into what appears to be a gray or silver sedan. The video can be viewed at http://ow.ly/kKEv30q3bos.
An LAPD spokesman said Major Crimes Division detectives will be looking into a possible connection to vandalism that occurred last weekend at a Beverly Hills synagogue and in Calabasas between Monday night and Tuesday morning, where two dozen vehicles were spray-painted.
Someone broke into Nessah Synagogue at 142 S. Rexford Drive about 2 a.m. Saturday and caused significant damage to some items inside, according to Beverly Hills police.
