Bensalem, PA - Multiple Nazi swastikas were spray painted on the front and side doors of the Pak-It business on Adams Road, the owner said.

The business's owner, Bruce Blatt, who is Jewish, said he had no idea whether the graffiti was a simple act of vandalism or meant as a hate crime.

“I don't know who is doing this or why they did it,” Blatt said. “I really can't come up with any reason why my business would be targeted.

“Of course it's upsetting. They're big enough that you would notice them,” he added. “But we'll have it removed in a day or two.”

Bensalem police are investigating.

Statewide, 119 hate crimes were reported in 2007. So-far 41 hate crimes were reported in Pennsylvania between January and June of this year.
