EAST BETHEL, Vt. — Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying whoever was responsible for a racial slur that was discovered spray painted across the surface of Route 14 near Factory Hill Road on Tuesday morning, Vermont State Police said in a news release on Tuesday.
A road crew from Vermont Department of Transportation’s District 4 office based in White River Junction was dispatched to remove the graffiti. It is the second incident of racist vandalism to occur in the Upper Valley in less than a month, following an Oct. 31 attack in which half a dozen Sullivan County properties were spray painted with racist slurs in Newport, Croydon and Claremont.
