Police apprehend 3 kids for spraying swastikas
Three children admit to spraying swastikas, Nazi slogans in Holon
Police officers arrested three children from Holon on Thursday evening over suspicion they had sprayed swastikas in the city.
One of the children, aged 12, told officer he sprayed swastikas to vent his rage at the discrimination he had felt in Israel since he emigrated with his family from the former Soviet Union, seven years ago.
The other two suspects are aged 12 and 16.
Police launched a hunt a week ago after swastikas and Nazi slogans, including 'hail Hitler,' were found on a handful of buildings across the city.
The 12-year-old said he had initiated the spraying spree and confessed he felt guilty for what he did and decided to stop his practice.
Police released the two children aged 11 and 12. The 16-year-old teenager remains in police custody.
The children's parents will also be remanded for interrogation, the police said.
