A VANDAL who scrawled anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi symbols on an MSP’s office window has been been caged for more than two years.
James Malcolm, 18, used red paint to draw symbols, including a Star of David being hung on gallows, at Rona Mackay’s Kirkintilloch office.
He then caused £14,000 of damage to 27 headstones at a cemetery with a Nazi swastika symbol scribbled on broken glass found at one of them.
During his two-month crime spree, Malcolm yelled “Heil Hitler” at a terrified 16-year-old in a park.
He vandalised Lenzie Moss Nature Reserve and Waverly and Luggie Park in Kirkintilloch - and used his blood to write offensive slogans on the wall of a police cell.
Malcolm pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to four charges of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, a charge of maliciously damaging headstones and writing offensive slogans on a cell between June 1 and August 9, last year.
Sheriff Alan MacKenzie sentenced him to two years and four months behind bars.
