Orlando Police Search for Vandals Who Defaced Black Lives Matter Street Mural

Police in Orlando, Florida, appealed for the public’s help to identify individuals who were filmed spray-painting graffiti onto a Black Lives Matter street mural on June 26.

Two cameras showed individuals defacing the mural on Rosalind Avenue just after 11.30 pm, police said. Graffiti read “abolish the police” and “not enough,” according to local media reports.

“Vandalism is not how we bring positive change to our community,” Police Chief Orlando Rolón said on June 27.

The mural has since been restored, according to local reports. Credit: Orlando Police Department via Storyful
