The vandalism of a Martin Luther King Jr., statue in a Southern California park that was found graffitied with hate symbols is being investigated as a hate crime, authorities said.
The Long Beach Police Department said it was notified of the graffiti on the statue at a park named after the slain civil rights leader just before 3:30 p.m. on July 2, a police spokeswoman told Fox News.
On the front of the statue were a swastika and Nazi SS bolts, the Long Beach Post reported. The city Parks, Recreation and Marine department removed the graffiti over the weekend, police said.
