Authorities say exterior signs at the Baltimore Hebrew Organization at 7401 Park Heights Avenue and less than a mile away on the Beth Tfiloh on 3300 Old Court Road were defaced with swastikas, the word "Nazi" and other offensive comments with black spray paint. Police seized the signs as evidence and believe that the both were done by the same person or persons.

Art Abramson, Executive Director of the Baltimore Jewish Council, says vandals are the likely suspects, but because of the recent Jewish High Holy Days, and events in the Middle East, a full investigation is needed.

Abramson is meeting with both Baltimore City and County police today to discuss the ongoing investigation.
