MEXICO — Police on Wednesday were looking for people who spray-painted five exterior walls in town sometime
between midnight and the early morning of Nov. 1. They believe the
same people spray-painted several buildings in Rumford during
the same time.

Graffiti is spray-painted on the wall of the underpass between the Mexico Town Office and the Mexico Public Library.
Sgt. Roy Hodsdon said “3rd World”
was sprayed in black paint on a fire station wall, on the underpass
wall that connects the Town Office and library, on the porch of a
Granite Street residence, and on the stop sign at Osgood and Mexico avenues.
Also, “3rd World” and a swastika were
sprayed along an exterior wall of the Family Dollar Store in the
Mexico Plaza, and on the abutment of the bridge that connects Mexico
and Rumford.
At least two people
took part in the vandalism because the handwriting differed slightly, Hodsdon said.
He said his department was working
with the Rumford Police Department on the incident. Anyone who saw anything associated with
the spree is asked to call the Mexico Police Department at 364-5686.
