The second location was Prince Andrew High School at 31 Woodlawn Rd., where numerous symbols were spray-painted on the back of the school building.
Photos on social media indicate that the graffiti depicted swastikas, however officials have since covered over the symbols with purple paint.
Police say the graffiti appears to have been done overnight.
