Arrest in vandalism at Jewish cemetery

CHICAGO, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- A member of a neo-Nazi group has been arrested for allegedly vandalizing nearly 60 gravestones in a Jewish cemetery in Illinois this month, a report said.

The 21-year-old Norridge, Ill., man apparently worked alone when he allegedly spray-painted anti-semitic slogans and swastikas at Westlawn Cemetery in Norwood Park Township near Chicago Jan. 6, the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday.

The suspect reportedly was trying to impress other members of a neo-Nazi group, said Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
