BEAVER — A contractor has been arrested after swastikas were spray painted onto a building in Beaver County.

On Sunday, the Beaver Borough Police Department said they were able to link the crime to a contractor who is not from the area as the suspect, by identifying the vehicle used in the incident.
The contractor was allegedly having a dispute with the business owner. Police said that person confessed to vandalising the building.
“We want to thank our community, the Beaver County Commissioners, and Beaver County Crime Solvers for their cooperation and assistance in this matter. Your support plays a vital role in keeping our town safe,” a spokesperson for Beaver Borough said.
Officers say there is no widespread threat to the community.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Beaver Borough Police Department at 724-775-0880.
