Gilroy police are investigating an act of vandalism at a local high school this week after someone ransacked it and left behind hateful graffiti, police said.
At approximately 11:40 p.m. Monday, three unidentified suspects entered the Christopher High School campus at 850 Day Road, Gilroy police said.
The suspects allegedly wrote hate graffiti onto the walls of the school and ransacked several classrooms.
The nature of the graffiti was not revealed, but a Gilroy Unified School District spokesperson told local CBS TV affiliate KION that the district was working with the community “to learn from these episodes and to foster further conversations about antisemitism, bias and racism.”
The Gilroy Police Department said officers are investigating the vandalism as a hate crime.
Those with relevant information or video are urged to contact Gilroy police at 408-846-0403 or to send anonymous tips by calling 408-846-0330.
