(KNX 1070) - The Los Angeles Police Department is trying to find the person who scrawled anti-Semitic graffiti at a synagogue in the San Fernando Valley. 

The incident happened at Mishkan Torah synagogue in Tarzana. 

The graffiti was discovered on the same day, Wednesday, when a suspect hung Turkish flags at two nearby Armenian schools. 
Administrators said that was disrespectful to families of the more than 1 million people killed in the Armenian genocide.
