Teens arrested for swastika at synagogue

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Two teens were charged with first-degree aggravated harassment for arranging chairs into the shape of a swastika in front of a New York temple, police said.

Security cameras taped the teens arranging the folding chairs in a parking lot at the North Shore Sephardic Synagogue in Great Neck, Long Island Saturday evening, the New York Daily News reported.

Arrested were Joseph Cianciulli and Erik Bracamonte, both 16, and both from Port Washington.

The New York Post said the synagogue's rabbi, Isaac Bakhshi, discovered the 12-foot square arrangement.
