Discovery of Swastika in Branford Leads to Swift Rebuke from Residents: Report

BRANFORD, CT — The discovery of a painted red swastika that was found on a bridge on Hosley Avenue Tuesday led to a sharp rebuke from Branford residents, according to media reports.

“I think it’s horrible. I can’t believe it,” Lucy Pirrone told WTNH News 8.

Another resident called the swastika "disgusting."

NBC Connecticut reports that the swastika has been painted over and it's technically on state property and not town land. No other swastikas have been found in Branford.
