Two Juveniles Arrested in Hate Incident Investigation

Vandalism at El Marino School

On Thursday, July 25,at 6:50 am, officers responded to the report of vandalism at El Marino Language School. Police located a broken classroom window and graffiti in several areas of the campus, which included hate speech. Due to the summer season, no students were exposed to this incident.

An investigation was immediately launched to identify those responsible. Culver City Police quickly identified both suspects as two male juvenile residents of Los Angeles. On Monday, July 29, both suspects were arrested and released to their parents. Neither suspect is a student within the Culver City Unified School District.

Because they are both juveniles there names will not be released.

Both minors hsve since been releaased.

Culver City police will continue to collaborate closely with the Culver City Unified School District to support our school community and ensure the safety and well-being of our school campuses. Additional patrols of the area are being conducted for added peace of mind.

The Culver City Police Department condemns all forms of hate and is committed to combating this type of criminal activity.
