The NYPD has released new surveillance footage of four people wanted in connection to an antisemitic graffiti spree plaguing<\/a> New York City\u2019s Jewish community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident unfolded Monday, after swastikas were spray-painted across multiple locations throughout Queens overnight, according to<\/a> New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the NYPD shared new surveillance footage<\/a> showing four suspects being sought in connection with the alleged antisemitic graffiti, adding that the group is wanted for “hate criminal mischief” spanning five separate occasions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additional footage obtained by Fox News from Shmira Public Safety also shows a group of individuals near one of the homes that police say was targeted after the homeowner discovered a swastika painted on their garage the next morning.<\/p>\n

The symbols were found plastered on several synagogues, private homes, cars and a Jewish community center \u2014 with one instance involving a swastika being painted over a plaque honoring victims of the Holocaust.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When rabbis and congregants arrived to pray this morning, they expected to be met with their usual loving community,” Menin said in a social media post. “When a family woke up, they were prepared to begin an otherwise normal week. Instead, they were met with terrifying signals of hatred and threats of violence.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement posted to X, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> condemned the blatant act of antisemitism and vowed to hold those responsible accountable for the graffiti.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I am horrified and angered by the swastikas painted on homes and synagogues<\/a> in Queens, including on a plaque honoring survivors of Kristallnacht,” Mamdani said. “This is not just vandalism \u2014 it is a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear. There is no place for antisemitism in Queens or anywhere in our city.”<\/p>\n
