Orenburg, Russia - Police have detained three young men suspected of vandalizing a synagogue in April.

The suspects reportedly have neo-Nazi tattoos and have confessed to the crime. A search of one suspect's apartment reportedly yielded extremist leaflets.

The vandals painted swastikas and death threats on the walls of the synagogue; the suspects could face up to four years in prison if convicted under hate crimes legislation.
