Plea to public in racist tagging
Law enforcement officials Thursday appealed for information from the public to solve what Dist. Atty. Bonnie Dumanis called a series of “cowardly” attacks that included racist, anti-Mexican and anti-Semitic graffiti sprayed on two schools, a medical office, a Catholic school, a church and a park in Chula Vista.
The attacks took place over a series of weeks, officials said. A reward of $5,500 has been offered through Crime Stoppers, the Hate Crime Reward Fund, and Anti-Defamation League.
“San Diegans will not tolerate hate crimes,” said Crime Stoppers Executive Director Sally Cox.
