The FBI and the San Diego Sheriff's Department are investigating what they're calling a hate crime at a local temple.
The sign on the Ner Tamid Synagogue in the 13000 block of Pomerado Road in Poway was spray-painted on Saturday night, officials said.
FBI agents and sheriff's detectives have labeled the vandalism a hate crime because of the numbers that are painted on the sign. Authorities said the number 14 represents a white supremacist mantra. And they said 88 stands for "H.H.," shorthand for a phrase used by Nazi sympathizers.
Investigators said they are still working to decipher the other symbols and words that are spray-painted on the sign. A representative for the synagogue says the vandalism occurred between 6 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. on Sunday.
