California police open hate crime probe in vandalization of Sikh temple
LOS ANGELES
Police in Southern California have opened a hate crime investigation into the vandalization of a Sikh house of worship in Orange County that was defaced with Islamaphobic and gang graffiti, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
The graffiti was discovered on the exterior of the Gurdwara Singh Sabha in Buena Park and included the word Islam - spelled "Islahm" - and a reference to Islamic State militants, said the Sikh Coalition, an advocacy group for the Sikh community.
The defacement, discovered on Sunday, came days after a Muslim couple massacred 14 people at a holiday party in San Bernardino, California.
The graffiti, much of it illegible, also included some gang references, the Sikh Coalition said in a statement.
