VIENNA, Austria - Police say three people are suspected of spraying swastikas and Nazi slogans on buildings and road signs in southern Austria.

Police said Sunday that the suspected vandals acted overnight in the small town of Bad St. Leonhard in Carinthia province.

The three suspects - two men ages 18 and 21 and a 20-year-old woman - are not believed to be right-wing extremists.

Invoking Nazi symbols and spreading Nazi propaganda is a crime in Austria, which Hitler annexed in 1938.
