Investigators in Orange County are looking for whoever carved multiple swastikas outside a Jewish student's apartment near the University of Central Florida.

Michelle Feldman told deputies she found 11 swastikas carved into the walls of her hallway over the weekend at the University House Apartments, just blocks away from the UCF campus.

The apartment building is off campus, but a UCF spokesman released the following statement:

The anti-Semitic vandalism that took place at an off-campus apartment building is reprehensible.

Management at the University House Apartments also released a statement to its residents, offering a $500 reward for information that leads to an arrest. The statement, as released to KnightNews.com, follows:
