ORLANDO, Fla. — Several residents of an apartment complex near UCF woke up to find swastikas spray-painted on their buildings.
Residents of the apartment complex on Solon Avenue near the intersection of University Boulevard and Alafaya Trail said the swastikas made them feel uneasy.
“It makes it scary because it’s the first time and seeing things like this on Christmas Day makes it scarier,” said Nathaniel Adu, a resident.
“We have all kinds of friends—people from Africa, Pakistan,” said Christopher Miglino, who lives there.
Channel 9’s Karen Parks counted several swastikas in the apartment complex, as well as along several blocks of Alafaya Trail.
That includes a fraternity house, 4 Rivers Smokehouse and Bank of America near UCF.
Nearby business owner Alex Cooper said there should be no tolerance for for actions like this.
"Something like that has no place in 2018 in Orlando, Florida," Cooper said.
Some of the swastikas habe been covered up.
Orange County deputies have only said this is considered criminal mischief and that the case is under investigation.
