NEW WESTMINSTER — Police in New Westminster, B.C., say they’re working to identify a suspect in a vandalism spree that saw swastikas drawn on several vehicles.

They say the first incident is believed to have occurred overnight on Oct. 3, with a man calling the following morning to report the vandalism of his vehicle.

The vehicle had been parked along Nanaimo Street between 10th and 12th streets and responding officers found another vehicle vandalized in the same area.

Police say another resident then called on Monday to report finding a swastika drawn on his vehicle parked along the same block.
