Vandalism suspect drew swastika on Jewish business in NE Portland, police say

The vandalism suspect is reported to have visited a business in the area of 2700 NE Broadway St. on June 14. An employee told police he approached the entrance, muttered profanities, and drew a swastika on the door frame before walking away.

“The employee at the business believes this was a deliberate, targeted act as the business is known to integrate Jewish beliefs and traditions into its practices,” according to police. 

Investigators also found that a menorah placed in the front window of the business last November was stolen, and a Pride flag has been put outside the business.

Officials say this history is “further raising concerns about the suspect’s intent.”

Anyone with information about the man seen in the photos above is asked to contact Portland police.
