SANDWICH, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — An investigation is underway in Sandwich after a resident's house was tagged with a racial slur and symbol, according to Sandwich Police.
In a Facebook post, the department says they responded on Saturday to a home on Race Lane in South Sandwich. The homeowner reported coming home and discovering it on her garage.
