Overview
- Police are treating the incident as a suspected hate crime after swastikas, antisemitic messages and damage to a vehicle were found at the Camden Park home on Saturday morning.
- CCTV from a neighbouring property showed a dark sedan arrive and two people leave the vehicle, and SA Police have urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
- Homeowner Rosti Sverdlov has chosen not to remove the graffiti so neighbours can see his family was deliberately targeted and he says the attack has left them shaken but defiant.
- State leaders and the Jewish community condemned the vandalism and point to South Australian laws that make public display of Nazi symbols a criminal offence with fines and possible jail time.
- Police said a separate report of offensive material at the Moana boat ramp appears older and not linked to the Camden Park attack, and officers have increased patrols and support for the family.
