Arrests made after Jewish cemetery attack

By: Anna Cross | New Zealand News | Sunday October 21 2012 17:56

 

Police have arrested two men following an attack on the Jewish section of an Auckland cemetery.

The attack, which involved obscenities and Nazi swastikas being spray-painted on graves at the cemetery in Symonds Street, was discovered on Friday.

The men - aged 19 and 23, have been charged with causing wilful damage.

The 23-year-old will appear in the Auckland District Court tomorrow, while the 19-year-old will appear on Tuesday.

Police say their investigations are continuing and there may be further arrests.
