Montgomery County Police on Thursday released images of three persons of interest linked with antisemitic graffiti found at Greenwood Elementary School in Brookeville.
Police said the graffiti was spray-painted on a wall and the side of the school building’s roof.
Three people were seen leaving the school, police said.
The images show a male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants. A second male wore a bandanna as a face mask, a black hooded sweatshirt and blue shorts, and a third wore a gray hat, black T-shirt and black shorts.
The graffiti was found Saturday.
Expletives and other language expressed anti-Israel sentiment and referenced Israeli leadership, and the vandalism included a drawing of the Star of David, Principal Jennifer Seidel said in a letter to parents.
Gov. Wes Moore on Tuesday condemned the vandalism.
“Such hate has no place in our schools or our state, especially as we begin Jewish American Heritage Month,” Moore wrote on social media. “Our administration is working closely with local authorities to combat this hate and stomp out antisemitism in all its forms.”
