Vandals Break Into Hartford Stage, Leave Anti-Gay Graffiti

Hartford police are investigating a break-in at Hartford Stage offices in Hartford and anti-gay graffiti.

Police responded to the Hartford Stage offices on Main Street in Hartford just after 8 a.m. to investigate a burglary and the general manager said the doors were tampered with and there was graffiti on the walls.

Photos from the scene show a broken table, paint all over and graffiti on a whiteboard that have prompted police to consider this a possible hate crime.

"Obviously offensive to many on the walls as well, certainly that'd be something our investigators will look at," Deputy Chief Brian Foley, of Hartford Police, said.

A spokesman for Hartford Stage did not want to talk about the break-in and vandalism at the offices and classrooms. 

Police said nothing was taken.
