Racist, Antisemitic Vandalism Found On Wayne Home And Car

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA – A home and a car were vandalized with racist and antisemitic messages in Radnor Township on the night before Halloween, according to township police.

Both instances of vandalism were done using shaving cream, police said.
