Brockton Vandals Slash Tires, Leave Racist Message On 1 Car

Brockton police are looking for who's responsible for vandalizing 20 cars and writing a racist message on one.

BROCKTON, MA — A Haitian-American family woke up Tuesday morning to find that the tires on six of their vehicles were slashes, and racist graffiti was written on one of the cars. Resident Schneider Xavier told WHDH someone spray painted "KKK" on one of his cars.

Xavier, who lives on Fairview Avenue with mother, father and sister, said he has no idea who might have done this and doesn't understand why anyone would do this to his family.

"I don’t have problems with anyone," he told WHDH. "I don’t know why someone would do that."
