Police in Brandon have released an image of a suspect they believe spray-painted racist graffiti on two high schools over the weekend.

Linden Lanes School and Vincent Massey High School were targeted with racist and anti-Semitic comments and logos.

Other hateful and vulgar slogans were spotted once police arrived at both schools in the morning.

Officers believe the suspect spray painted at both locations between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Saturday morning.

Video surveillance showed a man, possibly in his mid to late teens or early twenties, as being the person responsible for the vandalism.
