Police are searching for the vandal who spray-painted racial remarks and other graffiti on several statues and monuments at an Atlanta cemetery this week.

Crews have since played tarps over the monuments at Oakland Cemetery because of the profanity left behind over the weekend.

Investigators believe the vandalism happened overnight into Sunday morning despite having a security guard and cameras on the property. The suspect or suspects were not caught on camera.
