Stacey Todd boutiques and Il Tramezzino cafe in Studio City were hit over the weekend with graffiti illustrating swastikas, alleged gang writing and stick figures with guns. It happened sometime between late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, but it wasn't until after 10 a.m. that someone alerted police.

"Anyone seeing anything that could be related to this vandalism incident is urged to report it to Van Nuys Police Division at 818-374-9500," Jeff Berk of the local neighborhood watch and of Watch2.org, tell us.
