A swastika was spray-painted in a parking lot in West Kelowna, and now police say they’re investigating the incident.
Police say the symbol was spray-painted sometime during the morning of July 21, along the 500 block of Highway 97.
“The swastika was put directly behind the vehicle of a Jewish man, who was understandably very upset when he saw it,” said West Kelowna RCMP Sgt. Joel Glen.
