Vandals spray paint "KKK," swastikas on Acworth home
ACWORTH, Ga. - At a time when people are putting up Christmas lights in the name of love and generosity, many residents near the home were appalled by the message of hate left behind.
She said her son first noticed graffiti, the KKK lettering, the Swastikas and the word Mexican with a slash across it, on the garage doors of a neighboring home on Browning Circle.
"We're working to try to determine who owns the property. If it's a homeowner or a lender or a bank. So at this point we don't really have a victim," said Sgt. Ashley Henson with the Paulding County Sheriff's Office.
"Right now we've got criminal trespass because because what they've done is they've damaged somebody's property in an amount not to exceed five hundred dollars," said Sgt. Henson.
They live across the street from the targeted home and strongly believe if the law doesn't catch up with the hateful scribblers, something else will.
The Sheriff's office is hoping someone will call them with a tip to find the graffiti vandal or vandals.
She said it wasn't easy explaining why something like this occurs to her two young sons, but she says it's a lesson worth teaching.
The Paulding County Sheriff's Office said the vandalism occurred in the early morning hours of Tuesday.
