MANCHESTER, N.H.- Police say 4 juveniles are in custody in connection with more than a dozen acts of vandalism.

On Thursday Police offered the update in the case that began Saturday morning when folks living on Candia Road, Gabrielle Street and South Beech Street woke up to antisemitic, racist and homophobic messages spray painted on homes and cars during the overnight hours.

Due to the fact the suspects are juveniles police say they will not identify the offenders charged but note they’re presently working through the juvenile justice system as their cases are adjudicated.

At the moment police believe the acts were random, and that there’s been no indication that there were specific targets.

As the investigation continues Police are still urging residents who may have witnessed any of these activities or have surveillance footage from the impacted areas, please call Manchester Police at 603-668-8711.
