Philadelphia police say they are investigating at least two incidents of vandalism in West Philadelphia on the same block.
Philadelphia police released surveillance footage on Tuesday showing the duo walking down the street. The pair painted messages relating to the war between Israel and Hamas on the side of a home before quickly leaving the area.
Graciela Galiamo said her daughter is a resident of one of the buildings that was tagged over the weekend with a message reading "Viva Palestine." She said she had no problem with people expressing how they feel about the conflict between Israel and Hamas, but she added people need to do it in a respectful way.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Philadelphia police said they were investigating whether the suspects caught on private security video were connected to other acts of vandalism in the area. Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said investigators were searching for additional video in the area.Nearby neighbor Nate Topham told Action News that he thought the pro-Palestinian messages were fine as long as they were contained to public property.
Other neighbors said they weren't concerned about similar acts happening moving forward, but said it would make sense if their fellow neighbors were "annoyed if they see something that they have to take the time to clean up."
