A Lakewood township business appears to have been targeted with antisemitic graffiti on Friday night. A swastika was spray-painted on a fence that surrounds a garbage container on a commercial property on Progress Place. "White power" was painted on the side of a trailer on the property. The street is located in a remote wooded area near Route 195.

The business is owned by a Jewish family that lives in Lakewood, according to the Lakewood Scoop, which was first to report the incident. Surveillance video posted by the Scoop shows a woman getting out of a dark sedan and walking behind the trailer that was vandalized.

Police did not identify the business. According to Google Maps, there are three businesses at the end of Progress Place: B&B Tent and Party Rental in one building and F&S Distributors and Display Designs in another.
