Police responded to a report of vandalism at a home on Whittemore Lane around 8:46 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1, Stoneham Police Chief James McIntyre reports. Upon arrival, officers found the Swastikas with "hateful language" scattered across the property. 

“There is no place for this kind of hate and bigotry in our community,” Chief McIntyre said. “Our detectives are committed to a full and thorough investigation, including any possible criminal charges against the party responsible.”

Stoneham Police have contacted the Anti-Defamation League New England, who will assist them in the investigation. Police believe the incident was not random, McIntyre added. 

Anyone with any relevant information is asked to contact police at 781-438-1215.
