RICHMOND (NEWS1130) - Richmond RCMP have confirmed to News1130 that investigators are searching the grounds of Gilmore Elementary School in Richmond where anti-Semitic graffiti and racial slurs have been spray painted all over the building.
Peter lives in the area and describes what he sees. "'White Power,' with Hitler signs in numerous locations."
He adds that last week the building had similar vandalism, but it was painted over earlier this week.
Peter says there is a consistent problem with teens partying on the grounds and neighbours often complain about fighting and smashed beer bottles around the school.
One parent News1130 was able to talk to says she's heard this was a crime scene, but says as a parent she has not picked up any racial tensions among students lately.
In the meantime, a sports tournament that was supposed to be held in the area has been moved to another location.
The school wasn't the only place that was sprayed. Police say more graffiti showed up at Blundell and Dyke Road.
Corporal Sherrdean Turley says they're not sure if these two areas were targeted for a reason. "It's hard to say what people are thinking when they are spraying graffiti around. I mean, obviously their intent is to put it in a location that can be seen."
Police noticed the graffiti at Gilmore Elementary when they were responding to a stabbing, but the two incidents are not related.
The offensive graffiti at the school has since been removed.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-3-5 20:06
