The Chatham-Kent Police Service continue to investigate after the Chatham Cenotaph was vandalized earlier this week.
“The Chatham-Kent Police wants to assure the public that we are thoroughly investigating the mischief of the spray painted Swastika on the Cenotaph in Chatham, as we do with any incidents of this nature,” police officials said on their website.
