Geneva police has identified the person they believe was responsible for spray painting swastikas and other racially charged drawings on buildings Ontario County community.

A 12-year-old Geneva resident was charged with criminal mischief as a juvenile delinquent in connection with three recent incidents. In a news release, police said they believe the child was "the only one involved in and responsible for the crimes."

Officers on Thursday executed a search warrant at the child's home and found evidence connecting the 12-year-old to the crime "and evidence to support the filing of a hate crime."

Authorities last week found swastikas on the side of the Mt. Calvary Church of God and Christ on Milton Street in Geneva and on a garage door of an Elm Street parking, according to police. A third swastika was found on the outer wall of the Armory on Main Street on Wednesday, according to Geneva police.

The 12-year-old will face the charges in Family Court.
