Police are searching for a man seen on video giving a Nazi salute before scrawling racist images outside an Avondale restaurant last week.

The vandalism occurred around 11 p.m. May 24 at Mexican restaurant Con Todo Cantina y Cocina, 2853 N. Kedzie Ave.

Surveillance footage shows a man with long hair wearing sunglasses and a blue jacket, holding his right arm aloft in a Nazi salute as he walks past and looks toward the restaurant.

The man walks past the restaurant again a few minutes later, then goes up to the building for about 45 seconds, appearing to do something to it, before walking off, videos show. Most of the man’s body is out of the frame.

Police are investigating the incident as criminal damage to property, a police spokesman said.

Con Todo’s co-owner JC Castañeda said he was “taken aback” when he found a swastika scrawled on the north side of the building Thursday and reviewed the restaurant’s surveillance footage.

Con Todo’s cameras captured the man, as did cameras belonging to next door neighbor Studio Instrument Rentals at 2835 N. Kedzie Ave.

Jewish institutions in West Ridge were vandalized and tagged with Nazi imagery earlier this year.
