Swastika-Scrawling Suspects Arrested In Brooklyn, Cops Say

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS -- Police arrested two teens who allegedly drew swastikas and other hate messages on a quiet Brooklyn Height block the night before Halloween.

Jarrick Wiltshire, 18, and Daul Moultrie, 17, stand accused of scrawling hate-filled messages on a garage door and several homes on Garden Place between Joralemon and State streets at about 9:35 p.m. on Oct. 30, police said.

Both men were charged with three counts of harassment, police said.

This act of vandalism was just one of several anti-Semitic acts to occur in Brooklyn in the week following the largest anti-Semitic attack in United States history, when 11 people were massacred at a Pittsburgh synagogue.

Brooklyn man James Polite was arrested Saturday for writing "Die Jew Rats" in a historic Prospect Heights temple hours before Broad City star Ilana Glazer was slated to host a political event and for setting fires near Williamsburg temples.

A group of teens hurled a pole through the window of a Bed-Stuy Jewish community center Saturday night as the congregation observed the Sabbath.
