Ridgefield Police continue to seek information regarding the swastika graffiti incidents that have occurred around town.
As a reminder, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for incidents of swastika graffiti around Ridgefield.
In late January, five swastikas were found drawn on the outside of the Masonic Lodge and the Aldrich Museum. Police believe they have been drawn by the same person. Swastikas were also discovered on a classroom door in Ridgefield High School in November, on a table at the high school in September, at Ballard Park last June, and outside Ridgefield High School last March.
"We hope this reward facilitates the quick apprehension of whoever is behind this upsetting outbreak of swastika and hateful vandalism in Ridgefield," said Steve Ginsburg, ADL Connecticut Regional Director. "We commend the Ridgefield Police Department for investigating these hateful acts and First Selectman Marconi for his support. We cannot allow this despicable hateful vandalism to go unchecked in Ridgefield, or anywhere else."
