Police are trying to find whoever is responsible for scrawling graffiti on the Absecon Lighthouse in Atlantic City over the weekend.

Sometime between 4 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. Saturday, someone spray painted "You are beautiful" across the base of the lighthouse. Workers have since removed the words and painted over it.

"It's unfortunate that someone got onto the property and spray painted the lighthouse, but it's very fortunate that we have leaders in the city who responded immediately through the (Casino Redevelopment Authority) and their branch, the Atlantic City Special Improvement District and the graffiti has been removed and new paint has been applied to the affected area," lighthouse Executive Director Jean Muchanic said in a statement.

A police spokesman said they have no suspects.

At 178 feet, the Absecon Lighthouse is the tallest in the state and third tallest in the country.

Anyone with information is asked to call Atlantic City police at 609-347-5780.
