“Since very little can be seen, please look at his clothes and see if maybe it seems familiar. He seems to be into that age-old fashion trend of his pants half falling off his bum,” police said in a Facebook post.





Police said the suspect did not appear to drive and they asked residents to check any doorbell or security cameras to see if they had video of the suspect late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

“Despite this hate crime, there must be difficult conversations and positive actions to promote acceptance and inclusion in our schools and community. This is a teachable moment for our community and an opportunity to grow; these hate-filled messages do not reflect the majority of our wonderful school community. Such actions will not be tolerated, and the NFT condemns these acts of hatred and intolerance,” Neshaminy Federation of Teachers (NFT) President Tara Huber said in a statement following last’s week graffiti.

Anyone with information can contact police at 215-949-1000.
