SALINE, Mich. — Police say vandals smashed produce at a community garden in Washtenaw County and carved a swastika into a watermelon that was left behind.
AnnArbor.com reports (http://bit.ly/PmiNyB ) police were called Monday to Saline Community Garden near Woodland Meadows Elementary School following a report of vandalism, which likely happened late Sunday or early Monday. Tomatoes, corn, onions and watermelons were tossed about the garden.
Saline police Detective Don Lupi says the vandalism is “unacceptable” and the department is taking it seriously. The garden has been at the site about 40 miles west of Detroit since 2007.
John Dahlgren, who has two plots at the garden, says someone also turned on water and left it on, causing much of the ground to be soaked.
Police are seeking tips from the public.
