Police in Beaver Borough have arrested a contractor they say is responsible for spray-painting swastikas onto the side of a home last week.

Last week, police were investigating and a reward was being offered after swastikas were found spray-painted onto the side of a home near Fifth Street and Sharon Road. 

Police announced Sunday evening that someone has been arrested in connection with the incident. Charges will be filed against Tristan Eckenrode of Gibsonia, the Beaver County District Attorney confirmed. 

Police say investigators identified the person by tracking a vehicle that was used at the time. 

The person responsible for the vandalism was identified as a "disgruntled contractor" who is not from the area and the spray-painting was done as part of a business dispute, according to police.

Police say the incident was not part of a larger widespread threat in the community. 

"We want to thank our community, the Beaver County Commissioners, and Beaver County Crime Solvers for their cooperation and assistance in this matter," police said. "Your support plays a vital role in keeping our town safe."

Community members say no matter the reason, this kind of hate has no place in their neighborhood and are relieved justice will be served.

"A friend of mine was killed in Pittsburgh at the temple a few years ago, the dentist that was murdered. And so it's a horrible thing to have that in my hometown now or anywhere," said resident Clifton Ditz. 

Anyone with concerns or more information about the case is asked to contact Beaver Borough Police.
