Vandals Attack Lacey Military Recruiting Office



LACEY, Wash. —

A military recruiting office was vandalized with anti-war sentiments in the Hawks Prairie area of Lacey.

Lacey police said an officer was driving by the office at 1316 Galaxy Drive at about midnight Wednesday when he noticed some damage.

Vandals tossed a large cinder block through the office window and "no war" and anarchy symbols were spray-painted on the building and a recruiting van that was parked nearby.

The vandals also left a flyer comparing the military recruiters to Nazi Germany on the door of the recruitment center.

"You can be for the war or against the war, vandalizing isn't going to solve anything," said Bre Orr of Lacey.

The vandalism comes nine days after vandals struck the Thurston County democratic headquarters and left behind anarchist symbols and several broken windows.

A representative from the Army said this is the fifth time a recruiting center has been targeted by vandals in the past three months. Vandals have hit offices in Olympia, Spanaway and Tacoma.

"We're going to be looking to determine whether or not these are connected cases," Lt. Jim Mack of the Lacey Police Department said.
