Lincoln Police are investigating after a Jewish synagogue in Lincoln was vandalized with a swastika. Surveillance video from South Street Temple shows a male spray painting the door and steps then stepping back and taking a photo of his offensive work.

LPD said on Wednesday morning around 9 a.m., a passerby called police about the vandalism at a Synagogue located at 2061 S 20th Street.

Officers on the scene said they observed an unknown individual had used orange paint to draw a swastika on the front steps of the temple. The doors of the temple also appear to say 'F U Black Shirt'.

The case is being investigated as a hate crime, LPD said.

Investigators are requesting anyone in the area who suffered similar vandalisms of orange paint to contact police and make a report. Anyone with information is encouraged to call police at 402-441-6000 or Lincoln Crimestoppers at 402-475-3600.
