More than 20 detectives are investigating the appearance of swastikas and anti-Semitic messages on buildings and cars in a Brooklyn neighborhood.

New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne says the intensity and the number of incidents in such a small area on the Jewish holidays sparked the large investigation.

Yom Kippur ended on Saturday and Sukkot begins at sundown Wednesday.

Police say that swastikas and hateful messages directed at Jews were found Monday and Tuesday spray-painted on two synagogues, seven residential buildings, three parked cars, a park building and two sections of sidewalk in the Brooklyn Heights section.
