Sunday, November 27, 2005

November 27, 2005 -- The Nazi's left more than a month ago but their message keeps popping up in parts of North Toledo. Police believe young kids are terrorizing Point Place by spray painting racial slurs on buildings. "Hate" graffiti.

It happened Friday evening in the area of 101st Street in Point Place. Vandals targeted the Point Place Post Office, using orange spray paint to write derogatory remarks against the police and blacks. They also spray painted swastikas all over the walls in the back. Police say the vandals also spray painted several post office vehicles and smashed windows on the postal trucks. They didn't just target the post office, they also vandalized nearby businesses in the marina plaza.

Toledo police aren't sure who's responsible for these acts of vandalism. They believe it was done by copycats who may have been inspired by the North Toledo Nazi riots back in October. Some nearby businesses say they're not surprised that this type of graffiti is going on.
