LOS ANGELES, CA — A series of Swastikas painted from a large pool of blood found near the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, triggered an unnerving police search Monday morning.
The bloody scene was discovered in the bathroom of a community center in the Fairfax area at 6:45 a.m. Monday, according to Officer Tony Im of the Los Angeles Police Department. Officers scoured the neighborhood with the help of bloodhounds in an effort to find victims or suspects, but none could be found.
“There was a large amount of blood in the bathroom,” said Im. “The swastikas appear to have been done with blood, and they were about 12 inches by 12 inches.”
