BENNINGTON â Police are looking for three juveniles suspected of vandalizing Benningtonâs Black Lives Matter mural on Wednesday evening â the first such incident since the street art was created last summer.
The chalk-like markings werenât around for long: members of the public mopped away the graffiti that same night.
The suspects â two females and one male â were caught on surveillance video defacing the South Street mural around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Bennington Police Department. The mural is located in front of the town office, across from the police station and its surveillance cameras.
A video screenshot provided by town police showed some of the painted letters crossed out and others written over, including with an expletive. âWhite Lives Matter,â âAll Lives Matterâ and its abbreviation, âALM,â were also written around the original text.
