    The graffiti was discovered along Wells Drive, between Tampa and Louise avenues.
    “I’m frightened. I don’t know if it’s a sign of the times or I don’t know if it’s just kids, because we’re surrounded by two schools,” said Judy Silver, a Jewish resident who lives near a home that was vandalized.

    Anti-Semitic taggers strike in San Fernando Valley
    By Tom Tugend, Contributing Editor

    Spray-painted swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti over a wide area in upscale neighborhoods of Encino and Tarzana are being investigated as possible hate crimes by Los Angeles police.

    Early Thursday morning, residents discovered the vandalism, which included such insults as “F… Jews” and “Burn Jews,” painted in front of four homes along a two-mile stretch of walls along Wells Drive, between Tampa and Louise avenues.

    At this point, police are not certain of the perpetrators’ motivation and one of the more heavily targeted homes is owned by a non-Jewish family.
