Cars are being vandalized in a chain of attacks in a Phoenix neighborhood. Nine cars in two days have been spray-painted with racial slurs and swastikas and left the neighborhood confused as to why.
A recent string of explicit vandalism has targeted a Valley neighborhood. Seven cars have been spray-painted in what Phoenix Police are calling bias-related crimes.Homeowners first thought it was a random one-time thing, but on Saturday neighbors woke up to more cars spray-painted with offensive slurs and swastikas in the same neighborhood near 24th Street and Thomas Road."It’s kind of absurd, really. It's a peculiar situation, to say the least," said victim Chris Horak.
The confused community is trying to piece together who is doing this and why. "I don’t know if anger is a good word to use. I just don't understand it," one of the victims, Tony Padilla said.Neighbors came together to clean each other's cars, using Goo Off to remove the slurs and swastikas. "When something like that happens, it's like an attack on my friends," Padilla said.Horak feels targeted and wants nothing to do with the hate displayed on his car.
