ANTIOCH — Several tips from the community led to the arrest Tuesday morning of a man suspected of vandalizing several buildings and city vehicles with offensive words and symbols, including swastikas, police said.

In a statement Tuesday morning, police said they arrested Lawrence Phipps, 24, of Antioch. A search of Phipps’ residence turned up evidence that connected him to the crimes, police said.

Police found surveillance footage of a man appearing to be Phipps early Monday and began circulating it on social media and throughout the community.

“This is an excellent example of what can happen when the police and the community come together to work as a team,” police said in a statement. “As a community, we refuse to stand for this type of criminal behavior.”

Police received an online complaint around 9 a.m. Sunday about the vandalism downtown and at City Hall. Officers found three city vehicles, a City Hall door and a local business had been spray-painted overnight, police said. Later Monday morning, police found graffiti on businesses along West Second and G streets.

According to police, swastikas were among the symbols spray-painted. The graffiti also showed vulgar words, phrases and racial slurs, police said.

Police have not said whether they will seek hate crime charges.

As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, Phipps was not listed in custody at the county jail in Martinez.
