An investigation into possible vandalism and hate crime was underway in Los Angeles’ Mid-Wilshire area after a man’s car was carved and painted with offensive language, the Los Angeles Police Department told NBC Los Angeles exclusively Monday.<\/p>\n
The incident was reported on Orange Drive near Olympic Boulevard Saturday morning as a man checked on 2016 Dodge Charger, which had been parked and covered for a week on the street.<\/p>\n
When the man uncovered the car, he saw someone had carved and painted the phrase “KKK” on the vehicle in addition to other racial epithets.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe the suspect left behind thousands of dollars of damage. <\/p>\n
No arrests were made as of Monday. The LAPD said it’s looking for video and other evidence to track down the perpetrator. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An investigation into possible vandalism and hate crime was underway in Los Angeles’ Mid-Wilshire area after a man’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,5015,47,50,49,71017],"class_list":["post-140704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-lapd","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-mid-wilshire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
