RANGELEY - Police are making progress in an investigation into slurs spray-painted on a road, a sign and a six-wheeler belonging to a Jewish family.

Police officer Brian Hughes was called to Round Pond Development on Saturday by the development's owner, who discovered the words "white power," the letters KKK and Nazi swastikas.

Police are treating it as a hate crime and are narrowing in on the time frame and other information, Chief Phil Weymouth said.

House lots in the development owned by the Jewish family are being roughed out but no construction has started.

Police plan to conduct more interviews and go house to house when people return to their seasonal homes this weekend to see if anyone saw anything, he said.

People are coming forward to discuss the matter but no one has been implicated at this time, he said.

"It's unfortunate with the diversity we have in Rangeley, Maine, that this type of thing could even happen," Town Manager Perry Ellsworth said. "It really does not speak well for the community, if someone in this community did it. We will do whatever we need to do to resolve this."
