The Oxford Police Department is looking into vandalism at Avent Park depicting Nazi symbols.

On Thursday, a passerby discovered swastika symbols painted on a structure at Avent Park. The person alerted OPD of the vandalism.

“We are unsure of how long it has been there,” OPD chief Jeff McCutchen told the EAGLE. “We do not have any suspects at this time. We ask that the public continue to report any suspicious activity.”
