Authorities in Thousand Oaks are calling swastikas and other "racist graffiti" found in Thousand Oaks yesterday a "hate crime," reports the Ventura County Star. According to Sheriff’s Capt. Frank O’Hanlon, residents in one neighborhood "discovered swastikas and the words “white power” spray painted on several garage doors, cars and electrical transformers," in the area Tuesday morning. A crew was called in to begin erasing the vandals' marks as the investigation was underway.
