OLEAN, N.Y. (WKBW) — City of Olean police are asking for help identifying an individual wanted for vandalizing and damaging a U.S. military recruitment office.

Police say the individual spray-painted swastika images on the military office and the Olean Public Library around 9 p.m. Monday.

In addition to the swastikas, the vandal also left the initials "AWD," which may refer to the neo-nazi organization Atomwaffen Division.
