Martin County - Thursday January 5, 2023: Racist and anti-semitic graffiti was found scrawled inside a golf course tunnel at the Martin Down's Country Club in Palm City.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office was called in after a golf course employee noticed the graffiti at 7 a.m. Monday, January 2.
A Swastika, a Star of David with a line through it, the word gay and the n-word were scribbled out on the roadway of the tunnel in bright orange spray paint. "An unknown suspect(s) willfully and maliciously damaged" the property, states the field report. They caused an estimated $1,000 in damage.
The vandalism appears to have occurred over the New Year's weekend. There are several entrances into this area of the golf course, none of which are monitored by camera.
There are no suspects at this time, however there were shoe prints left behind in orange spray paint residue after the yet unknown suspect(s) stepped in the wet paint.
