CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) - Police are investigating after spray-painted swastikas and hateful language were discovered on an asphalt walkway at Cranston Stadium.
Officials say a woman discovered the vandalism on Monday.
Parks and recreation Director Anthony Liberatore tells The Providence Journal (https://bit.ly/1XUD1oB ) that at least four swastikas were spray-painted onto the walkway that connects the football field to an area with tennis and basketball courts.
The letters “SS” and “KKK” and the phrases “I hate Arabs” and “I hate Jews” were also found.
Police Chief Michael Winquist says the graffiti is being investigated as a hate crime.
Investigators are examining the possibility that the vandal or vandals are young, based on the location of the vandalism and the nature of some of the graffiti.
