Racist Graffiti Found In San Leandro Park
SAN LEANDRO (CBS SF) – Police believe Saturday night one or more gang members spray-painted racist graffiti on an amphitheater wall at San Leandro's Marina Park.
Police were notified Sunday morning of the graffiti, located at the park at 14001 Monarch Bay Drive.
The graffiti was directed at Hispanics and African-Americans, police said.
Officers found racial slurs and an image of a person in a red hat on a cement wall at the tot town playground, which is at the far south end of the park.
The graffiti was not visible from the street, police said. Officers believe the incident is gang-related because a number 14 was included in the image of the person in a red hat.
A San Leandro graffiti removal team removed the graffiti after police were there to investigate.
