Reward Grows In Apartment Door Vandalism Case
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Aurora have increased the reward money that's available to the person who provides a tip that leads them to the vandal or vandals responsible for racist graffiti on doors in an apartment complex.
The Aurora Police Department Reward Fund has added an extra $1,500 to the reward for information. It now totals $3,500 hundred.
An African American family lives in the apartment that was targeted last month. KKK and the n word were spray painted on their door. Three more similar incidents then took place in the same apartment complex.
A neighbor who asked to stay anonymous told CBS4 he worries his family might be next.
"I'm really worried. I am afraid they might do something to my apartment. I'm worried about my family and my friends who live here," he said.
Aurora police say hate crimes will not be tolerated and that they are treating this case as priority.
Anyone with information about the case that might be helpful to investigators is asked to call Detective Ryan Belleau with the District 3 Detective Unit at (303) 627-3156 or Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at (720) 913-7867.
