Vandals Spray War Memorial With Graffiti

DANVILLE, Calif. (AP) -- Northern California officials are offering a reward for information on vandals who covered a war memorial with graffiti over the weekend.

Danville Police Chief Steve Simpkins told KRON-TV on Wednesday that the city along with private donors have issued a $6,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible.

Police were called to All Wars Memorial in Danville after graffiti was found on pavement, stone paths and granite benches near the memorial, which is dedicated to everybody who served in American wars.

Officials say the black and red spray-paint was discovered Monday morning, and that the memorial was most likely vandalized Sunday evening.
