SAN LORENZO \u2014 When police went looking on Via Honda for the home of a man allegedly responsible for numerous incidents of antisemitic graffiti and the Jan. 14 destruction of a law enforcement surveillance camera, one residence stood out.<\/p>\n

The house with \u201c(expletive) Jews\u201d spray painted outside on the sidewalk, according to court records.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old man they were looking for was known to San Lorenzo residents, who have made numerous reports about him since 2022, ranging from the bizarre to concerning. He regularly patrols his neighborhood dressed in army fatigues, sometimes with a machete tied around his neck, other times with a BB gun or air rifle in hand and sometimes yelling \u201cHeil Hitler\u201d as he made his rounds, authorities said in court filings.<\/p>\n

When the suspect \u2014 identified as Isaac Garcia \u2014 was arrested on suspicion of vandalism, he allegedly admitted to cutting the wire of a surveillance camera in San Lorenzo, authorities said. But he assured the police he never would have done it if he\u2019d known it was a police system, adding that he wants to be a police officer \u201cso bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cost of the surveillance system was around $2,000, authorities said.<\/p>\n
