2 Students Arrested In Hate Graffiti At Pacific Palisades High School

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Police Tuesday arrested two students accused of spray-painting hate graffiti on the grounds of their high school in Pacific Palisades.

Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Tina Nieto said the students were released to their parents. The teens' names were not released because they are juveniles.

The graffiti sprawled on Palisades Charter High School over the weekend, including swastikas, and made references to gays and the KKK.

The arrests were announced hours after L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the vandals.

Bonin said he was "horrified by the awful, disgusting and offensive hate speech graffiti. We cannot allow hate and intolerance to threaten our neighborhoods and our school children."
