Story out of Ottawa, Ontario:
Ottawa police are investigating the third hate crime to occur this week after anti-Semitic graffiti was spray-painted on the side of a Jewish Modern Orthodox synagogue in south Ottawa.
Police were notified at around 7 a.m. ET Thursday after congregates spotted it at the Machzikei Hadas synagogue on Virginia Drive in the Alta Vista neighbourhood.
Two swastikas were spray-painted on its front doors and another was spray-painted on a nearby sign.
Security cameras also were spray-painted to prevent them from recording, and a number of offensive phrases were spray-painted on the synagogue's outside walls.
The graffiti comes just days after a swastika and the word "k---e" were spraypainted on the front door of a woman who runs a Jewish prayer centre in the Glebe.
Police say they're also investigating a graffiti incident at Ottawa's Torah Institute on Coldrey Avenue. Cont.
