East Lyme ― Police said they have charged five juveniles after vandalism and graffiti containing symbols and language that were “racially and/or religiously offensive to multiple groups of individuals” were found at McCook’s Point Park and the rear of a Main Street building.

Police said graffiti on the Main Street building was directed at Jewish, Muslim and Black individuals, and there was a reference to Hitler and swastikas.

The vandalism at McCook’s bathroom involved a broken sink, mirror and stalls, police said.
