Two teens were arrested Monday for scrawling multiple swastikas on residential buildings on a quiet Brooklyn block, authorities said.

The hate symbols were found on the steps and garage doors of homes on Garden Place between Joralemon and State streets in Brooklyn Heights on Oct. 30 at about 9:30 p.m.

Jarrick Wiltshire, 18, and Daul Moultrie, 17, were busted by cops and charged with three counts of aggravated harassment each.

Last week, NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said the vandalism was being investigated as a hate crime.

“What we’ve seen in the last month is an increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes, particularly swastikas on buildings in parts of the city,” Shea said. “Anti-Semitic hate crimes make up about half of all of the hate crimes that we see in New York City.”

On Thursday night, James Polite, 26, allegedly scrawled “Kill all Jews” in the stairwell of Union Temple in Prospect Heights. He was busted the next day.

Both incidents came after a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue, where the gunman yelled “All Jews must die!”
