UPDATED: 3 Calabasas High Students Suspected of Anti-Semitic Vandalism

Three students have been identified as suspects in the painting of anti-Semitic phrases and images around the campus during spring break, according to authorities.

The three teenagers submitted written confessions after they were detained and interviewed by sheriff's investigators, according to a press release issued by the on Tuesday.

"Although the investigation continues, we are satisfied we have the right persons identified," the release stated.

School maintenance workers discovered the graffiti vandalism after arriving for work at about 9 a.m. on Saturday. Workers removed anti-Semitic statements and images of swastikas before classes resumed on Monday, authorities said.

Sheriff's detectives concluded through the course of their investigation that there is no evidence of racial or religious conflict at Calabasas High, said Lt. Steve Smith in a statement issued Wednesday.

The three suspects are all minors in the 11th grade and have no prior criminal record, the Jewish Journal reported.

Based on what the suspects told investigators, the vandalism was a result of the three students feeling they had been mistreated during the school year, Smith added.

The alleged graffiti vandals also expressed remorse for their actions and displayed a "heightened sense of understanding of the pain that they caused to individuals, school officials and community members," Smith said.

"They were sorry for what they did," said Calabasas High Assistant Prinicipal Eric Anhalt.

The case will be presented to the district attorney and Juvenile Court, the release said.

Anhalt said the school will seek the "highest level of discipline that's available" against the teenage suspects, though he would not confirm if that would be expulsion.

"We need to send a strong message that what happened was egregious and unacceptable on our campus, and we will recommend a consequence that’s in line with the egregiousness of the act," he said.
