Montgomery County police are searching for three people of interest connected to the spray-painting of antisemitic graffiti on Greenwood Elementary School near Brookeville, Maryland.
According to police, the vandalism occurred around 3 a.m. Saturday, and three individuals were seen leaving the school, at 3336 Gold Mine Road, around that time.
The graffiti was spray-painted on a wall and the side of the school building’s roof, police said.
It comes amid a spate of similar hateful incidents in the county targeting the Jewish community, according to Franklin Siegel, chief operating officer at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington.
“The number of reports JCRC has received about antisemitism at MCPS is significantly higher than other school districts across our region. They come at a time when antisemitism is becoming more dangerous and violent throughout our country and internationally,” Siegel said in a statement to 海角社区app.
“While the details vary, these incidents reveal a harsh truth: too many Jewish students and educators at too many MCPS schools continue to face too many threats,” he added.
Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the individuals .
Police are also asking anyone with information to submit a tip online or call 1-866-411-8477. Tips with information that leads to an arrest may be eligible for a reward up to $10,000 and tipsters can remain anonymous.
