GLEN CARBON, Ill. (AP) — Authorities in southwestern Illinois say a suspect is in custody after swastikas were found spray-painted on several homes and dozens of grave markers at a nearby cemetery.

Edwardsville police announced on Facebook that a 34-year-old man was apprehended on Saturday. Additional information on the suspect was not immediately available.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports employees at Sunset Hill Cemetery in neighboring Glen Carbon found swastikas on 150 to 200 headstones. Cemetery grounds superintendent Mark Johnson says the vandalism was discovered Saturday morning.

The story of the vandalism came out earlier, I don't think anyone posted it. Now, they have a suspect of this heinous act.  Some reports say the vandalism happened mainly to veterans' graves.  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/more-than-200-headstones-vandalized-with-swastikas-in-illinois-cemetery
